Hello Lacquered Lifers … its been a while. Moving will do that to you. Officially organized enough to be back, and here are just some teaser photos of what I have been dealing with the past few weeks. This project is going to be a wild ride … feel free to follow along. Back tomorrow in full force. Cheers, Olivia 

Hello Lacquered Lifers. I know, I know, it has been a while. Putting the house on the market and getting ready for the move have really occupied my time … along with work and a sick dog. I’m sorry I have been neglecting you! To kick off the comeback today I want to introduce you to New Orleans based photographer Frank Relle. I was introduced to his work through an article in the NY Times, and I’ve fallen completely head over heels for his “Nightscapes” series. Photographing buildings all over New Orleans, particularly those in need of a little TLC, the lighting he uses makes the buildings seem as though they are part of some magical land … which, for those of us who have spent any time in New Orleans, know is the truth. For more information on Frank Relle, and to peruse more of his stunning work, visit www.frankrelle.com . And don’t worry Lacquered Lifers, like these historic buildings, I am here to stay. xo Olivia
