New Orleans, Louisiana I’ve got ochre on the brain, because I’ve been reading the fascinating book Color: A Natural Histroy of the Palette by Victoria Finlay.

At the Cafe Degas in New Orleans. Dan, Donna, Scott and I took a break from shooting in the cemetery, and had a lovely and refreshing lunch on their enclosed porch. This dessert might have actually been called Bread Pudding, but it’s texture was more like a souffle.
