Photography. Running. Sunshine. The Beach! Travelling. Memphis Bball. UTEP Bball. The Saints. The Hornets! Anything NOLA! Art Exhibits. Red Wine. Steak....the only reason I can't be a vegetarian or vegan. Eating at funky restaurants....but not funky foods ;)...and yes it's hysterical that the pickiest eater on the planet is a food photographer! (But that is changing everyday as I'm exposed to some of the finest foods through work!) Writing. Live music by real musicians. Hmmm and anything that anyone wants to show me that is fun and new...I'm totally up for it these days!
Everyone! I can learn something and get something positive from every person that crosses my path! :) Hopefully I can be an uplifting, positive influence in return. :)
I like it all! But no...i don't do artist names/song titles.....not my thing to know. Mostly love outdoor music festivals and blaring music on road trips with the windows down or on the way to a job in the mornings to wake myself up or on the way out to get in a party mood! One of the great things about being a photographer is that it's totally acceptable to blare music on a shoot or while I'm retouching photos in my office!!! FUN! :) More specificly: Jazzfest, Beale St. Musicfest, Wednesdays at the Square, Voodoofest, French Quarter Fest, Love to wander on Frenchmen, and of course Rebirth at The Maple Leaf, Hot 8 Brass Band, Dumpstaphunk, and can't fail to mention JSDN!.....and I can play a MEAN Air Violin!...Eleanor Rigby...ask any Freret Street Mardi Gras Crasher about that one.
Yes I like to go to the movies. :) However, I've been too busy to go in a while! Love documentaries and indies.
My life is still too exciting and busy for that....except at Sports Bars.
The Alchemist. Love in the Time of Cholera. The Little Prince. John Grisham books. Witness In Our Time. Eat, Pray, Love. Any travellogues. Anything Photography/Business/Food related. I do a lot of magazine and cookbook research as part of my job: Saveur, Bon Appetit, Food and Wine, Gourmet, Cooking Light, Martha Stewart Living
The NOGS. My brothers who pursue their goals/dreams despite any and all obstacles! They rock! Margaret Bourke-White, Mary Ellen Mark, Annie Leibovitz, among other notable photographers. Harry Benson (noted photographer of the Beatles' famous pillow fight) for his photography, perspective, and wonderful sense of humor!....recently enjoyed a lecture given by him.
