New Orleans // Food, Music & Magic \\

This past week I had the amazing opportunity with my Travel Photography class to visit New Orleans, Louisiana. Staying close to the French Quarter gave me an opportunity to explore the food, music and magical history of the Crescent City. From the Trolleys to the Beignets, there was so much to experience for the first time. I hope you enjoy the photos. It was an amazing trip!

A Taste of Provence in SB: Stella Mare's

Mmm My favorite part of traveling is experiencing new food. This shoot is at one of Santa Barbara's local favorites, French Bistro "Stella Mare's" My classmate Elizabeth and I had a lovely meal with a Chicken Cobb salad and the Steak Frites. Check it out and let me know what you think!

Two Worlds, One City // Venice Beach + Downtown LA

This past weekend I got two distinctly different visits in LA, Venice Beach (for the family shoot below) and Downtown LA (for a walk with Remy.) Here are my two different views of Los Angeles, an amazing city with so many different worlds within one bustling city of concrete and sand.

Edit: If you want to see what's going to happen to all of this beautiful architecture, check out this website. It's so sad that it's going to be turned from that beautiful old architecture to that fake Vegas grossness... They're not keeping any of the integrity of the old architecture or anything, just making it all look modern and... I dunno, it's just not the same.

Forgotten Ohio I: Astorhurst + Lakeview Cemetery

For the first part of my Forgotten Ohio series, I shot at Astorhurst Golf Club at Lakeview Cemetery. Lakeview Cemetery is often overlooked as a place of interest in Cleveland because, well, it's a Cemetery, but it's home to some of the most beautiful sculptural art in Cleveland and some of the area's most famous dead including President James Garfield and John D. Rockefeller.

Starting Over

I decided to start a fresh blog for my photography, so that I can publish my recent shoots online, in addition to my portfolio, which you can find at developedbyjackie.com. I'm trying to narrow down my scope to people, especially children and musicians, and travel.

So, without further ado, please, follow the yellow brick road to the Golden Gate bridge for my first blog gallery, San Francisco on October 17, 2008: Golden Gate Park and Chinatown: Travel photography and Snapshots.
