The Terra Nola series is comprised of photographic landscapes shot in the twilight hours around the seductive city of New Orleans. The photographs illustrate
how the city radiates a sublime and often otherworldly beauty through its weathered architecture and entropic urban environs. The word 'Terra' is Latin for land,
and also means the terrain of a celestial body that gives off a glow, and NOLA is simply short for New Orleans, Louisiana. There are many more photos from the
series elsewhere on my website in the section entitled "Terra NOLA".
