Sad Planet

This poor planet is being roundly abused by it’s careless inhabitants. Huge expanses of once vibrant and living landscape have been covered with pavement, it’s water and atmosphere filled with noxious chemiclals and one poor species, in it’s eagerness to kill itself, is eating up all the others. It is a world of potential being realised for greed and is the saddest thing i can imagine.

I couldn’t take the picture but the government did with my taxes so i guess it’s alright.

Honeymoon In New Orleans

We got to spend a whirlwind three days in New Orleans on our honeymoon last spring and fell in love with the city. We both agreed that we would be coming back as soon as we could afford to.

I took this picture in Lafayette Cemetery. It absolutely broke my heart.

We’re so happy that we got to experience New Orleans before Katrina hit. But everytime I look at this picture, I think about the fact that it will never be the place that we fell in love with.
