[Just Call Me Joe]

I'm a graduate of the University of Mobile and New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. After Hurricane Katrina I moved back to Mobile, Alabama for nine months, but returned to the Crescent City in June 2006. Two years to the day after that, I left New Orleans for an eleven month stay in Fort Worth, [Republic of] Texas. Now I'm back in Mobile.

I love to travel and I rarely leave home without my Canon EOS 40D. I've been to 35 states, 3 provinces, and a few countries. While living in Fort Worth I realized that being within short driving distance of a large body of salt water is important to me.

Oh, and War Eagle!

I lived in New Orleans for three years (with a fourth year of exile not included). One of my favorite places to walk around is the French Quarter, and I got down there often. St. Louis Cathedral is probably New Orleans’ second or third most recognizable symbol, behind the Superdome and the Saints (and maybe Cafe du Monde). In addition to my postcard photo of the church, below you’ll see a few artistic photos of its reflection in a puddle on Pirate’s Alley.

I took the vertical shot of the Cathedral’s exterior in December 2006 on a chilly, foggy morning. The photo would have been great, if it weren’t for that truck. Ahh! The reflections were from a hot, humid, sunny day in September 2007.
