Mason Lodge Architecture in Cadeville
I would like to preface this article by stating that I am not a Mason, nor do I have any knowledge of Masonry. Some say they are shrouded in mystery. However, I am drawn to interesting old structures and architectures. Even better are those steeped in history. Recently, I was cruising in a local area

One Lane Crossing
I go bass fishing with my brother several times a year over on Toledo Bend Reservoir. On many occasions, we forego fishing on the main lake and instead head up the Sabine River. Fishing on the river is a bit different than fishing on the lake. Mostly, we target creeks, backwater sloughs and ponds, steep
Bernice Depot Museum
In early January 2025, I was in Bernice, Louisiana, creating images for the article: Bernice’s Historic Town Jail: Union Parish Louisiana Law Enforcement History. I had noticed the Bernice Depot Museum, not 2 blocks from where I was documenting the old jail. I have been around Bernice for a portion of my (young adult) life

Summer Country Evening
Summers in Louisiana can be brutally hot. I have lived (and worked) here all of my life, so the dog days of June, July, and August are nothing new to me. Most times, if you want to do anything, the evening is the best time to do it (although you are still going to sweat).

No Lifeguards
I remember growing up in Ruston in the 80s when the Ruston City pool was always there and people swam in it during the open season. I don’t really remember swimming in it myself but I am sure I did at some point. We swam at the Cedar Creek pool and of course in ponds
Longstanding
I have passed by this old derelict barn so many times that I decided I better take a picture of it before some strong winds come and level it out. I can only imagine what it looked like in its heyday. I appreciate you reading Louisiana Wandering. Please share the content with others to help support my
Mural Textures In Small-town Bernice Louisiana
Bernice has two interesting murals in town that appear to have been there for quite some time. I stopped one day a few months back and grabbed a color and black and white of each. I really dig the textures on the old concrete wall they are painted on. I appreciate you reading Louisiana Wandering. Please share

Murals Without Color
As good as murals look in color, I think they look really cool in black and white too. This one is on the north side of the Dixie Theater (Center for the Arts) in downtown Ruston, Louisiana. I appreciate you reading Louisiana Wandering. Please share the content with others to help support my work!

Patterson Barber Shop in Ruston Louisiana
I remember this small building and the same barber shop in this exact location as a kid skateboarding around Ruston in the mid to late 80’s. As far as I know, it has been there way longer than that. Of course, old bricks and old buildings draw me like magnets, and what better way to
