Brother's Photos

In My other blog...I wrote about how I'm encouraging my brother to explore his interest in photography. Being autistic...he has a hard time expressing himself so I'm trying to find other ways to allow him to do so. I've been trying to get inside his head by seeing the world the way he sees it via his photographs.

So far...he's mostly just taken photos of his cat. He loves that cat (whose name is Catso Rizzo). Here are some of the pics he's taken thus far.

Me and My Bitch

A few more random photos....

1) A statue atop a child's crypt in one of the cemeteries at the end of Canal Street.
2) A French Quarter balcony dressed up for Mardi Gras '04.
3) A street performer on Royal Street...remains frozen in postion for extended periods.

I spent a week in Key west in early 2000:

3) A bagpiper at the Mallorey Square sunset nightly party.
4) The beach as seen from a biplane ride I took around the island and over the sea to check out some shipwrecks and sharks...lots and lots of sharks.
5) Southernmost lighthouse in the USA. I climbed it. I sweated. A lot.
6) Sunset at Mallorey Square.
7) Smathers Beach.
8) Ernest Hemingway's house---now a museum overrun with six-toed cats.
