Marylin's House

The photos in the following section are of the home of my Great Grandmother, Marylin in Schriever, Louisiana. The house was built by my Great Grandfather, Paul, upon his return from the Vietnam War. The house was placed on the plot of land next door to Marylin's parents, Old Maw and Old Paw, on the land that was once their potato farm. They lived together in this home for 50+ years together before he passed away in 2016. They raised three generations in this home and on this land.

Houma

You might find this a little ironic, but my home town is called Houma, Louisiana, pronounced Home-Muh. Below are images of the school where I received my diploma, Terrebonne High School. My Great Grandmother Marylin attended this school, but did not graduate due to her need to help out at home with her siblings. My younger brother is currently a student there. Below are also images of Houma's best ice cream shop, Scarlet Scoop, which has a very long and rich history of it's own. Lastly, some images of my favorite tattoo artist in Houma, adding more art to my body.

The following images were taken in various places in New Orleans. NOLA is a magical place where street musicians are easy to find, the best beignets are made, and strangers two step in the streets.

Lafayette

I lived in Lafayette for four and a half years while completing my BFA at the University of Louisiana Lafayette. Some of my favorite places in all of Louisiana are here. While visiting I had the honor of reconnecting with someone special to me and going to all my favorite places. Pictured below are photographs taken at Mel's Diner, Lake Martin, and Moncus Park.
