His Neighborhood

2019

On a sub-freezing November morning on Caddo Lake along the Louisiana-Texas border, an egret flew parallel for several hundred yards to the flat boat I was in until it stopped suddenly and perched itself on the branch you see in the photograph. It felt - to me - almost as though it was telling me that I was in his neighborhood and just a visitor but HE was home. The canopy of autumn cypress leaves surrounding the egret made for a composition I could only dream about.

Hello. I am a native New Orleanian whose family roots in the region date back to the 1750s. I am a graduate of Loyola University New Orleans. I grew up as an artist – working with pencil and charcoal – creating drawings of people, places, and everything in between. Photography became an integral part of my life in 2011 when I was diagnosed with Leukemia. It provided an outlet of creativity and reflection that was immensely therapeutic. It remains so to this day. My objective with every photograph is to create something that reflects how I felt viscerally at that place and time. I strive to please my own eye first and subsequently hope that others connect to the photograph as well. I know I’ve succeeded when I still continue to look at photographs I’ve seen hundreds of times over the years. You can see more of my photography at ryanlips.com.
