I have lived in New Orleans since July 4, 1998. An (un)naturalized New Orleanian, I grew up in a formerly small town north of Chicago (a.k.a. Chicagoland).

 

My preferred arts are photography and videography. I've made a documentary about New Orleans chess master Jude Acers which has won Best Feature and the 2024 Abita Springs International Film Festival and at the 2024 Prison City Film Festival. More info about screenings can be found here: judeacers.com/?page_id=3194

I am also a publisher of B2L2, an online magazine:

New Orleans, the way it IS.
