A book of my recent photographs can be seen on issuu.com

This book is a precursor to work that I will be doing in Louisiana - documenting flora and fauna on my trips around the state.  I plan to create a book of those images as well.

If you are interested in purchasing Garden, copies can be ordered through Gallery Jatad or directly through Blurb.com.

I have been working on plans for a long term stay in Louisiana to allow myself time and better access to gather portraits and record personal histories.  

Two curators who are working in Louisiana and currently doing amazing things in the arts there are Benjamin Hickey at the Masur Museum and George Marks in Arnaudville.  

More on them and their work later.
