A little photography project created collaboratively with Miki Johnson when she was in New Orleans. She explains the project and the process best on her post about the project, but here’s my take. Images and sounds from around town, so turn the volume on.

Miki Johnson and I drove around New Orleans on a beautiful post-Jazz Fest day a couple weeks ago, talking about photography, blogging and simple and deep joys of creating. So we created a little project from the day, moments of our day, captured in sound and images, combined in the slidecast above.

In her post about the project, Miki explains the background behind the project, the process, and the conversation we had after we we started putting the project together: what we did, what struck us, what worked and what didn’t.

When Miki first asked me about doing a little collaborative project, it was easy to say yes. Miki’s a smart, thoughtful and creative person with a deep understanding of photography and the photography industry, but she’s also someone that lives “the conscious life”, as I often call it. She’s taking a sabbatical at the moment, creating, learning and living, and I’m interested in seeing what other collaborative projects she creates along the way.

And it reminded me: this can’t be the last collaborative project I have with people that I meet and visit throughout the world, here at home or on the road. I’m a near-expert at exploring on my own, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned the hard way, it’s that sharing the experiences creates something far more powerful, lasting and meaningful than pushing ahead on one’s own.

And for that, thank you. Thank you Miki; thank you Jeremy; thank you Tom; thank you Sloane and Carl; thank you, everyone.

Let’s keep creating :)
