Many of the scenes of the images I’m sharing below, I have seen (or even photographed) countless times in the past. Not only did I have an itch to scratch with new-to-me gear (Canon EOS 7D), something drew me to document them on Sunday, March 8th, 2026. So that’s what I did. These types of […]

I was quite happy with the back-road scenes I captured on a previous evening’s ride (I shared them in this post). Yet, on the morning of Sunday, March 2nd, 2026, I found some abandoned, old Americana-type frames, which are some of my very favorites. These images were created with either of 2 camera/lens combinations: a

I’m going to make a better effort to publish more back road scenes here on the Louisiana Wandering website. Most of these types of images are only shared online on social media and in the ShutterCraft 101 newsletter. I typically get out at least once a week on Sundays and ride back roads looking for

There is something magical to me about riding backroads and discovering old structures that time seems to have forgotten. Each time I find an old abandoned barn, shed, house, or other dwelling, I always wonder about its history. Whose was it? How much it meant to them and/or their family. And what happened to it?

The weekend of January 24th and 25th, 2026, North Louisiana, along with large portions of surrounding areas and states, was hit with a massive ice storm. The amount of ice that fell is typically unprecedented for this area. I’m guesstimating around 6 inches (or more) of accumulation over Saturday and Sunday. As you can imagine,

While visiting my in-laws during the 2025 Christmas holidays, I had the opportunity to photograph a pair of classic Dodge trucks. One was a green 1949 model, and the other was a red 1950 model. Both were in fantastic shape, still running, and drivable. I’ve never been a ‘car guy’, so to speak. But I
Waiting is a shared experience. If you think about it, we have all had to wait for something at some point. Waiting is part of life, then it seems. Over the last couple of years, I’ve created documentary-style images of scenes that reminded me of growing up in Ruston, Louisiana. A significant portion of this

The general theme for this documentary project is to photograph areas and subjects of interest along US state-named streets that correlate to the state. This could be directly or indirectly. Be sure and read the opening article in this series, The States of Ruston – Carolina Ave, to learn more. I know what comes to

While looking through some old(er) photos in my hard drive storage, I came across these shots of a classic car I took on November 23rd, 2024. I’d never seen a Country Squire model before, and while pumping gas next to the owner (who turns out I wound up knowing – in a sense), I asked

I’ve driven through Grand Cane, Louisiana, more times than I can count. Ever since my first time through, I knew there was a small ‘main street’ area with several older brick buildings and storefronts, but I never really took the time to look at them in depth. Plus, in those days, I wasn’t too much
