A Thousand Cuts

Posted on July 7, 2016 by Katherine Wikoff

I worked from Starbucks at Red Arrow Park for part of the morning and made a quick visit to their restroom before walking back to campus. Maybe because it was a quiet time of day, I noticed something about the floor … Continue reading →

Neighborhood Watch (Stump Sculpture, Carved Tree Art)

Posted on July 6, 2016 by Katherine Wikoff

Apparently this is a thing, to have your dead tree turned into a work of art. I’ve been driving past this guy for several years now. Might he be described as a “wood wizard”? Today I finally made time to pull over and … Continue reading →

Ghost Sign (#2) – Seen in the French Quarter

Posted on July 1, 2016 by Katherine Wikoff

I think maybe this was supposed to be a sign for Tutt’s liver pills, except there’s a window where the “T” would have gone. The photos below are from the first two hits from Google News, one from “The Florence … Continue reading →

Storm Clouds over Mulate’s

Posted on June 30, 2016 by Katherine Wikoff

We’ve had some thunderstorms this week in New Orleans. Thankfully I was inside during the worst one Monday evening. Incredibly powerful thunder and lightning, and very low in the sky…seemingly right overhead! I took this photo as I left the … Continue reading →

City Hall, Twice Removed

Posted on June 23, 2016 by Katherine Wikoff

Twice removed – the reflection reflected, on the south side of State Street, at an angle from north and west, viewed from north and east. Once removed – the original reflection, looking north from Red Arrow Park. And the real … Continue reading →

Panorama of the Panorama!

Posted on June 3, 2016 by Katherine Wikoff

I stopped in this morning to see the Grohmann Museum’s new exhibit. Although it opened May 27, I’ve only been in the building since then during hours when the gallery is closed. Last week was finals, and between holing up to grade … Continue reading →

Tenacity (or, “Life finds a way.”)

Posted on May 26, 2016 by Katherine Wikoff

At first glance this probably looks like my usual abstract, geometrical whatever type of photo. (It surprises me to realize I even have a “usual” type of photo . . . ) But look again. Can you see it? That delicate little spiral … Continue reading →

Blue Skies over the MSOE Campus Center / Blatz Brewery Bottle House

Posted on May 18, 2016 by Katherine Wikoff

It’s been a nose-to-the-grindstone kind of day. Reading lots of student drafts in my two sections of film studies and compiling/composing feedback for the debate teams in my freshman studies class. I got to work shortly after 8:00 this morning and will be … Continue reading →

Fallen Petals in Wet Grass

Posted on May 10, 2016 by Katherine Wikoff
