Window Seat Wednesday
Such the lazy blogger am I; I’ve had half a dozen Window Seat Wednesday posts queued up for you and not gotten around to finalizing and posting them. But maybe a new month means a new leaf? Maybe I can get those Photo of the Day posts done too?June is also the month that partner … Continue reading
Photo of the Day
Deborah Luster‘s photographic series ‘Tooth for an Eye’ captures a dark side of the city of New Orleans with a firm clear gaze.
