The Haunting Boardwalk
Moncus Park in Lafayette, Louisiana is a vibrant and beautiful park known for its gorgeous and vibrant irises. Seldom does it resemble this foggy morning captured last April. The haze, the absence of color, and the grit all seem so foreign. This image is about contrast, both in the image itself and from what we normally expect from a beautiful park. There is something hauntingly beautiful about the park in this condition. The use of expired film adds miniscule aberrations to the image, further contrasting the manicured gardens.

The Jungle Queen
The Jungle Queen IV is a riverboat built in 1971 in New Orleans that is currently operating in Florida. While boating on the New River and Fort Lauderdale canals (which is filled with hundreds of million-dollar homes and luxury apartment high-rises) I photographed the ship and reflected on how its name is still quite fitting, although the Florida coast is a much different type of "jungle" than in decades past. Compositionally I tried to minimize her presence, showing her cutting quietly through the waters, the Jungle all around her.
