What exactly Anba Dlo is you will have to click on through to the official festival website for the explanation.

From the website:
“The New Orleans’ spirit is about celebrating life; whatever the situation may be. This spirit is the basis for Anba Dlo- we come together to celebrate New Orleans’ important and changing relationship with water while educating on the important issues. Anba Dlo (Pronounced “Ahnbah Dlo”) is Haitian Kreyol for “Beneath the Waters” and is meant to acknowledge and honor the importance of water in our life.”

Dawn and I attended this year with some friends.

Full Album

Dawn was at a wedding so i ventured out into the bunchy this year on my own. On my way out the door I spied a familiar face across the street. It was my friend Dre from NYC.

He had no idea i was living in New Orleans, i had no idea he was here to visit the city. So i took him under my bunny wing and threw a pair of ears on him and told him to follow me. The rest is a blur of excitement, bunnies, friends, drinks, and stories told way past our bedtimes. Read the rest of this entry »

Vietnam – day 1

The city wakes up at 6:30 you hear a couple people at first then a torrent of scooters, voices and the sound of makeshift food vendors setting up for the day. It’s a place and a people that aren’t afraid of hard work. We get up at 7 and can’t sleep to excited to see it. To go out and fumble our way through the first, well the first everything.

Stuck in Dallas.

Dawn catching a nap in the airport. Our plane was broken so we got on a later flight. 4 hours in the airport and now we are in Dallas! Weee. So a day delay on our trip but we made the best of it. We got room service and watched a lot of tv.

So dawn and I leave for Vietnam in a couple hours.

I grabbed us a couple small king cakes from the cake cafe to at least taste a little of what we are leaving behind.

What a year,
As many of you have guessed, by our lack of getting you cards, gifts, well anything. We have a pile of stuff that should go to the post office, hopefully before we head to Vietnam on the 22nd. If not I am sorry we love you all anyway. Please accept some photos from the Lady Rollers Second Line as payment for my lack of fortitude and determination to get to the post office.

Follow me on instagram for updates this year. My year of black and white is over so this will be one of my last black and white photo-sets. And my workflow will be changing a bit, maybe not so many flickr photosets. Read the rest of this entry »
