Admiring Mona Lisa; The Louvre, Paris France

John Rogers — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 01:35:01 +0000

If you are familiar with my photography, you know that with the exception of my portrait work, I typically don’t have people in my photos. Usually with a combination of patience and very long exposures I can virtually eliminate the people. On this day in May at the Louvre, that simply was not possible, There were so many people that visually, the people almost became the event. So like they say, “If you can’t fight ‘em, join ‘em.

Shakespeare & Company Revisited

John Rogers — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 02:38:35 +0000

It’s extremely rare that I re-post a photo. However, one of my readers informed me that George Whitman, the American born owner of the iconic Paris bookstore “Shakespeare & Company” passed away yesterday. Of my thousands of photographs I have published, this would have to be one of my very favorites. I love Shakespeare & Company and I feel my photograph “Shakespeare’s Chair” does a decent job of conveying the spirit of the shop. Thank you George Whitman for creating so many wonderful memories and to your daughter Sylvia for continuing the tradition. Click here for a link to a New York Times article published yesterday December 14th, 1011 about George Whitman & Shakespeare & Company.

Musicowly Speaking; The Long Center Austin Texas

Musicowly Speaking, The Long Center in Austin Texas is one of my favorite local venues for music and performance. The acoustics are great, the facility is beautiful and the large patio out front provides a stunning view of the Austin skyline. (You can see more of my Long Center Photos here.) The beautiful cow in the photo was created by artist Robin Tripaldi for Austin’s Cows on Parade.

Autumn Leaves on the North Carolina Back Roads

Recently Beverly & I drove the North Carolina back roads in search of shots of beautiful Autumn leaves. Not too far from Chimney Rock NC we rounded a curve and found these horses grazing in the pasture framed by a beautiful Autumn canopy.

Aurora Borealis; Fairbanks Alaska

John Rogers — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 00:03:42 +0000

Beverly & I went out last night to try and see if we could see and possibly photograph an Aurora. The forecast was for a minimal Aurora but we thought we would take our chances. As we drove north of Fairbanks to get away from the city lights we could immediately see the green aurora high in the sky. Unfortunately, by the time we could find a dark road, the aurora was closer to the horizon and less active. Still quite cool! Hopefully we will get another opportunity during our visit to see this truly mystical sight.

Just another day in Rome Italy

When I travel to amazing places I wonder; Do the people that live here, and walk these grounds every day think of this place as amazing, or is it just where they sit and enjoy their lunch break like you or I might in our local park?

Looking up at the Louvre; Paris France

John Rogers — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 00:05:03 +0000

The Louvre is an amazing place. You can walk for hours, days actually, and never really get a chance to see all the amazing art and artifacts on display. On my last visit I spent a little time looking at not only the art in the building, but also the art in the architecture. This is the view when you look up to enjoy the ceiling in one of the many galleries.

New Hampshire Covered Bridge

Here is another of the three Covered Bridges I found in New Hampshire all less than an hour apart. Actually they were quite a bit closer together than that, because I actually photographed all three from various angles in less than three hours.
I had to get my shoes wet for this one. I loved the look of the rocks through the water and there was just no way to get the shot other than to just get a little wet. The good news is; I did not melt, my shoes are fine, and I really like the photo.

You can see the other Covered Bridge(s) here.

Long Center for the Performing Arts; Austin Texas

Tonight my wife & I are looking forward to another great evening of entertainment at the truly fabulous Long Center for the Performing Arts. I shot this view earlier in the year when I was photographing the ‘Stevie’ statue and the Austin Skyline across the street. You may view my other images of the Long Center here.
