I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

The US blockade of Cuba has no legal basis under international law. An island without an air force or modern artillery is not a security threat; it's a neighbour. If the United States genuinely believes otherwise, the UN Security Council exists for exactly that purpose.

Four touched up cell shots from last night, but not nearly as edited as you might think. it kind of looked like that. The house shots have the same edit as the sky shots. #photography #nolasky #fotografia

This morning when they were standing still next to each other, I confirmed something I've suspected for a while now: Onion is longer and taller than Jasper now, though if recent weighings were accurate, Jasper still has about 5 pounds of bulk on him. #cat #dachshund #photography

"A knowledge of the injustices of the past and the reasons for their occurrence is vital to the development of a liberal conscience. Such a conscience views cruelty as a great evil and a direct threat to the flourishing of individuals in society." The whitewashing cannot be allowed to stand.

I saw this red, #Lotus Evora GT earlier today. #photography #automotive #carspotting #weirdcarbs #nolasky

Just a few minutes ago... #nolasky

"...you might as well go full Mussolini and invade some random-ass country on a whole other continent. We saw how that ended up for ol’ Benito. And while I offer no predictions about Trump’s ultimate fate, I would encourage him to keep his feet presentable for when he is hung upside down by them.”

A happier post for #caturday. Cinnamon in a window. #photography

1/x I took a bad fall a few minutes ago. I went out for what was supposed to be a good, long walk and got about ten minutes away before my foot caught on some uneven sidewalk and I went down hard. Phone flew about 5 feet, but the case and screen protector saved it. #nolasky

Is there some big event happening this weekend? I'm pretty sure this is the most loud, drunk people I've heard from my apartment that weren't associated with a home Saints game or something like Mardi Gras since I've lived on Magazine St. And later into the night than hardly ever. #nolasky

Analysis | If the right-wing Ellisons are allowed to purchase CNN, they could order Jake Tapper to obsessively focus on Biden's age, or demand that Van Jones to say Trump truly became president today, or allow Scott Jennings to brazenly tell baldfaced lies on a nightly basis.

This model of their restaurant was on the to go counter at Molly's this morning. #nolasky #photography #restaurant #model #fotografia

"They may have been watering crops with Brawndo, but they were't bringing back measles." A comment seen on the internet about the comparison of the US to Idiocracy.

"Trans people no longer allowed to drive in Kansas" is a real headline. In case you don't think this is Nazi shit, let me assure you: this is Nazi shit.

Things seen while walking this week. Just cell snaps. #photography # NewOrleans #sunset #flowers #jerrygarcia

f you've seen viral video of the #NYPD cops getting pelted with snowballs after they charged in and tried to break up people having a fun, not at all hostile snowball fight, you should know that NYPD cops remain the whiniest little babies in existence. #acab

Chop-it-to-yas (From Tchoupitoulas? I tried. )

Stuff like this hits a little different these days. #nolasky

I got all the State of the Union content I need from skipping it and watching Colbert's monologue on YouTube this morning.

In the final week before Mardi Gras day, I didn't shoot any of the parades exclusively with the #charmera, but I did take some photos at several of them on the uptown parade route. Full set at the link. www.blog.flowstateneworleans.com/2026/02/24/c... #photography #nolasky #mardigras

This guy gets it.

I fully understand why, after a certain number of followers, one might be tempted to make it so that only mutuals can comment on your posts. But I don't think there's any journalist or public figure here providing such a unique viewpoint that I need to follow them once they make that decision.

Don't let the historic blizzards or wildfires get in the way of your return to office compliance on this Monday. Synergy and collaboration! www.nola.com/news/northsh...

My neighborhood under water.

Four shots from my Rex set and the rest in the link. It's a mix of floats, crowd shots, and shots of the crowd reacting to the floats. www.blog.flowstateneworleans.com/2026/02/22/r...

"Laura Burns name was removed from the credits. The single mother who made the expose of Andrew and Epstein possible was not on any of the BAFTA award submissions either. To call her erasure unfair is to put it mildly."

Post has 88 shots of Rex displayed in a thumbnail gallery. Click individual photos to see them. There's a mix of crowd shots, float shots, & both (like in the preview image). I may double post this since some apps won't grab linked posts with featured images. #photography #nolasky #sonyphotography

In person, in a bright and sunny morning, this Ford Maverick looked a much brighter yellow than it looks in these pics. It gave me early 90s Ranger vibes. #carspotting #photography #automotive #fotografia

The next day, I get some weird FB messages, one from a friend who lives in Brazil asking me did I really think he could make the hike for this party? Another from a man I don't even know laughing that tea parties aren't his thing... I shrug it off. Then I get three more. (2 / ?)

I used to take Jasper on a lot of top down drives in the #convertible I owned from 2015 to 2018, but I realized on the way home from the vet this was only his 2nd trip in this one. I've had it 18 months. He likes a top down ride. I should take him out more. #dachshund #dog #nolasky #fiat

1/3 I was sitting in my usual window seat in the coffee shop this morning, reading. I looked up from my book and across the street was this just normal looking young woman in baggy sweatpants and a big baggy sweatshirt walking down the sidewalk.

I walked into The Vintage for my Saturday morning coffee wearing my Go-Gos rock hall T-shirt and they were playing the Go-Gos.

Iran has been months away from getting a nuclear bomb since the 1990s. The US however handed nuclear weapons to a senile child rapist and his criminal cabal in 2016 and again in 2024.

I've made it 18 months w/ a 2 seater as my only car. Keep thinking I'll need to + something more practical someday. Idea that amuses me: my "practical car" ends up being a Fiat 500x or 500L. Idea that amuses me even more: it's a 500 Abarth. My #car personality becomes "that #Fiat guy". #weirdcarbs

2026 basically

I'm not a traditionalist about many things, but I usually am about not buying king cake out of season by even a day. However, I'm also a cheap bastard so when I went into Breaux Mart earlier and saw their remaining ones were 50% off, I picked up a store bakery cream cheese one for $6.50. #nolasky

Okay, #nolasky, I'm seeking recommendations for your personal favorite fish fries in uptown. I'm probably going to hit these every other week on payday during Lent.

Enjoy your cup while you can afford to.

Pondering the likelihood that this is my final #mardigras as a New Orleans resident, and wanting to hold onto the moment, this float (that I've photographed many times in years past) spoke to me today. No photo sets up today. 😀 #nolasky #photography #sonyphotography #parade

SCOOP: I have the first interview with the 36-year-old South Jersey man whose tearful protest against an ICE raid at a school bus stop has been watched more than 3 million times How a non-political Eagles fan Everyman became the face of ICE resistance My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Happy Mardi Gras! I’m running late to get out on the streets, but it isn’t easy being green.

Who do you have to know or be to have this rooftop deck overlooking Zulu to yourself? Is this the Club Wyndham Avenue Plaza? I was at Jackson & St. Charles watching Zulu when I noticed him. #nolasky #mardigras

This interview wasn't allowed on TV so going to go ahead and share it ~ haven't seen it yet.

The world would have been a better place if we had elected this man as president, both because it would have meant we were a better country if we could do it than we were and because he was a better man than the ones we did elect both times he ran.

Four shots from Druids and a linked gallery below. I'm back to experimenting with wordpress. I'll be ditching zenfolio soon and I'm trying to decide to host my own blog again or just push out Lightroom galleries. #nolasky #mardigras #sonyphotography #photography www.blog.flowstateneworleans.com
