Coal Train – Richmond
Posted by Chris H. on January 5, 2010
I was recently in Richmond, visiting family for the holidays, and was able to spend the better part of one day exploring the city with my brother-in-law. Having previously only seen Richmond from the freeway as I passed through, I had no idea what a beautiful and interesting place it is. Here a coal train pauses on the banks of the James River just south of the Hollywood Cemetery.

New Orleans
Posted by Chris H. on April 15, 2009
My friend Stephen is a native of New Orleans, although he hasn’t lived there since he finished his first graduate degree. Recently, however, he was asked to write the screen adaptation of Walker Percy’s novel The Moviegoer, which is set in New Orleans, so he decided to rent a house in the Garden District while he finishes the screenplay. Having never been to New Orleans I, of course, invited myself for a visit, from which I have just returned. I fell in love with the city. It has been knocked down pretty hard in the years since Katrina and still has a long way to go before it is fully recovered, but it is nonetheless still a beautiful, exotic city. Here are a couple of images from the trip.
Lake Pontchartrain late in the afternoon.
An egret nesting in Audubon Park.
The Oak Alley Plantation in Lutcher, Louisiana
The Hale Boggs Bridge over the Mississippi River near Luling, Louisiana
I don’t know which came first – the cemetery or the Dow Chemical St. Charles plant. Hahnville, Louisiana.
Stephen, hard at work.

Oahu – North Shore – Breaking Huge
Posted by Chris H. on August 25, 2008
You hear on the news that Waimea is getting 30 footers, so you jump in the car to see for yourself what a wave that is three stories tall looks like. The parking lot at Waimea is jammed, so you keep driving along the Kamehameha HIghway toward Haleiwa and find this: a jetty just offshore and easy parking.
Thirty feet is huge. Not only are the waves frighteningly high, but they are dense, so the energy that is unleased when they break is massive. The people who ride these things, like bullriders at the rodeo, have to be a little crazy. There are big penalties for little mistakes.

Georgia State Fair
Posted by Chris H. on July 17, 2008
Here’s what the Georgia State Fair looks like from the top of the Ferris wheel. It almost looks like a model, doesn’t it?
It’s real enough. Even from this high you can still smell the funnel cakes. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Café – de Young Museum – San Francisco
Posted by Chris H. on June 27, 2008
I was struck by the image of this little girl, sitting alone in the cafe at the de Young Museum in San Francisco, anxiously waiting for her mom to return with lunch. Notice the tension – feet tucked underneath her, hands holding tightly to the chair, head turned watchfully as she waits.
