Preserving New Orleans Second Line Culture
November 5 – December 18, 2016
Opening: Saturday, Nov 12, 6 – 9pm
I am honored to be a part of and to have 2 pieces of my work displayed alongside the likes of Michael P. Smith et al at this important photo exhibition.
The history of New Orleans second lines and social aid and pleasure clubs is directly linked to traditions of African American cultural practices including brass bands, jazz funerals and African dances that date back over two centuries to Sunday celebrations in Congo Square. Through the exhibition, Preserving New Orleans Second Lines Culture will bring to the New Orleans public and visitors to our region a greater understanding of the importance of these rich cultural traditions by showing some of the best contemporary and historical photography representing the subject.
I also have work on display at the AMAZING “Louisiana Photography Biennial” Photo Exhibit which is still running thru November 19th, if you haven't been yet, try and get down there before the show closes.

In the April 2016 edition of GQ magazine, the top six party-cation destinations are listed and of course New Orleans is in the upper tier of that list at number two, followed by Miami at number 1, (2 totally different and unique experiences, perhaps there should be two number 1's). So where does GQ tell you to start for your festivities in New Orleans? d.b.a. on Frenchmen Street OF COURSE , which is so aptly described by writer Brett Anderson as "An anchor of the Frenchmen Street music scene. The clubs jazz and soul set start early and pair well with all the craft beers from around these parts". And as far as music if you're lucky you'll get to see Big Chief Monk Boudreaux and the Golden Eagle Mardi Gras Indians in one of my images above the article. No Worries though, if you miss Monk there's an endless string of the best local talent playing at the club nightly Including Walter Wolfman Washington, Glen David Andrews, George Porter Jr., Papa Mali, The Treme brass band, Luke Winslow King, Little Freddie King and many many more..... Happy Jazz Fest to all!!;-)
Throughout Jazz Fest Season, I will make myself available for Studio/Gallery visits by appointment at your convenience! The best way to reach me is via text at 504-201-2202, or email at [email protected], or just grab me if you see me out shooting....... If your in the Bywater, there's a good chance I'll be available ON DEMAND throughout Jazz Fest!! Otherwise I'll get back to you within an hr.......Jerry ;-)

A few days ago I received the great news that my work had been selected for the show, but there was no hint about which “1” of my 4 entries had been selected. Come to find out, 3 of my entries had been selected.......WOW!! This will be the second time my work has been shown in the Grandstand during Jazz Fest, the first back in 2008 when one of my images from the series “Dr. Michael White’s Jazz Titanic” was on display. My contributions to what is sure to be a strong show this year include three 16x24 B&W pieces, including a B.B. King, Second Chief Joseph of the Golden Eagle Mardi Gras Indians, and and iconic Jazz Funeral capture. Needless to say I am honored and excited about the show!! Jerry ;-) More info to come.....
