First day of March. 92 degrees-- a harbinger of months to come. The boys are loving it though, especially in light of the rain we had this last weekend. Of course there's still much mud to play in, so that makes for even more fun.
My uncle,
Mike Rosebery, was interviewed for a
recent article in
The Shreveport Times. I grew up with Mike's photos; my dad always had several around. Mike would often send them as postcards, sometimes enlarged and mounted to matboard-- those were my favorites. I've loved getting to see much of his recent work on a near-daily basis through
his Flickr account, most of which are photos of Shreveport's
abandoned buildings and shells of once-busy
factories. It's been a neat insight into a city I'd never have seen otherwise; I'm repeatedly impressed with his photos from subject matter to framing to cropping. He and another photographer have an upcoming show-- Forgotten & Abandoned Shreveport, from March 16 through April 27 at
Artspace in Shreveport. We're definitely going to be there. It's cool when other people see the same talent you do, especially when it's a family member. Congratulations, Mike-- can't wait to see the show.
