Backtrack to 4.3.2014: New Orleans, LA to Panama City, FL

This post has been stuck in "edit" mode for more than a year.
What was my road block?
I'm not sure -- maybe I ran out of gas and couldn't find my AAA card.

Anyhow.

As mentioned in the last post, Waterlogue now has a spiffy desktop version. I've updated a bunch of the original Edge waterlogues [for some art exhibition opportunities], and am now working on a new set and uploading them to Saatchi Art. It's been enjoyable having my head back "on the road". And perhaps the road block has cleared.

No dining links -- I ate leftovers.

On the Edge "Out the Side" Time Lapses

I thought the Edge Brinno time lapse captures were a lost cause. [See this post].
Watching them as videos (which is how they're saved) makes me car sick!

Today, however, as I was scrolling through the beginning of the April 3 set frame by frame, I found some alluring images. Not a totally wasted effort at all! Instead of turning these into Waterlogues, as I had planned, I like them just the way they are -- after some cropping, that is.

Long time, no write!

I believe I have found a way to return to writing about my 2014 On the Edge trip and to perhaps maintain my interest in the task. Time will tell!

Mercedes Benz approached me with a fun way to "Share My City". << click on that link from your smart device and you can join in!

Here is my New Orleans:

My plan is to make more of these 5-image slide shows of my trip.
Five images, one zip code = mini slide show. (Hopefully not just sunrises from my motel rooms -- I have A LOT of those!)
I had left off writing about the trip at New Orleans, and I thought it'd be a good starting point for this iteration of the project.

Next up, April 3, 2014: somewhere between NOLA and Panama City, FL.

If you make your own slideshow, will you share it here? 
I'd love to see everyone's 9-second adventures!

Roadtrip Recap Day 6: Sulphur, LA to NOLA

Pines, I-10 LA, digital painting, ©2014

I had a short driving day on April 1st, taking I-10 from Sulphur to Lafayette, then on to New Orleans via US 90.

I saw Gulf-side refineries

Wet agricultural vistas

Swamps

My favorite part of the morning was breakfast at Billeaud's Too, in New Iberia.

I opted for one of the Lent Specials -- a crawfish omelet with grits and toast. Delicious!

I reached New Orleans around noon, where I rendezvoused with Severo for a couple of days.
