It&#8217;s raining in New Orleans.
That shouldn&#8217;t come as any surprise; it rains all the time in Louisiana. But since I came down last week there has been the most incredible string of perfect days&#8211;what the old black families call &#8220;SNOW&#8221; (&#8221;Sweet New Orleans Weather&#8221;): clear skies, daytime highs in the seventies, beautiful sunsets, cool nights&#8211;that [...]]]></description>

I never get much sympathy from people when I&#8217;m out on a travel assignment.
No matter how much you try to explain the complex logistics, the feeling that you&#8217;re always in a hurry and you&#8217;re so focused on getting the right shots that you don&#8217;t really have time to relax and enjoy whatever beautiful place you&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

Somewhere around 11 AM this past Friday I pedaled over to Avalon Pier as part of my lazy late-morning coffee-and-surf-check, only to find my erstwhile sleepy beach-town beach packed to the gills with technicolor umbrellas and out-of-state fun-seekers, and thick with the smell of suntan lotion.  It was like somebody threw the &#8220;summer&#8221; switch and [...]]]></description>

Some months back Brazilian art journalist Roberta Tavares did an interview with me for the Brazilian magazine &#8220;PHOTO&#8221;, and the editor liked it so much they made it the cover story of their end-of-the-year special issue.   Roberta asked some really interesting and complex questions, and I had a great time thinking up [...]]]></description>

In Venice, the iconography of &#8220;the mask&#8221; has moved so far past the point of cliché that even to speak of masks in Venice as cliché, is a cliché in itself.  La maschera has become the ulitmate symbol of crass commercialism in a city that centuries ago built an empire on trade, and eventually declined [...]]]></description>

I have wasted so much money the past few years in change fees and canceled plane tickets it&#8217;s ridiculous.  Nearly every trip I take, I end up changing my plans last-minute and having to pay some kind of whopping fee just because my concept of time is a little bit vague.
Yesterday morning I woke up [...]]]></description>

NB: The following post is an interlude, not a continuation of the cliff-hanging drama of the last post.  More on that story to come&#8230;
On Thursday night, thanks to the gracious invitation of friends from Hotel Danieli and MeetingEurope.com, I attended the Ballo Tiepolo, at the Palazzo Pisani-Moretta on the Grand Canal.  The Palazzo was built [...]]]></description>

Il Grand Ballo di Tiepolo, Palazzo Pisani Moretta, Venice
_______________________________________

Sometimes, when things aren&#8217;t happening the way you want, it&#8217;s a good time to make friends.
As I mentioned in the last post, the first weekend of my arrival in Venice was marked by unusually cold weather, which put quite a damper on the opening festivities of Carnival.  [...]]]></description>

There is a great old cartoon from the New Yorker that my dad sent to me many years ago.  In the pictures, two bums are sitting on a park bench, and one of them is saying to the other, &#8220;I&#8217;ve had a lot of great ideas in my life; I just lacked follow-through.&#8221;
I know quite [...]]]></description>
