Colors

I am working on a book of colors to be introduced in Hattiesburg,  MS next April.   All images will be photos from Louisiana.  These colors are also part of an abstract sculptural piece that I am making called "From Ida to Venice".

Louisiana Marshes


Going exploring in the marshes soon.


This website gives a lot of good basic information about Louisiana wetlands, where they are and what they do.  

I want to photograph the wetlands and record sounds from them.  Miles and miles of slow driving.  Looking forward to it.
