How I'm Benefiting the Artists of New Orleans
Over the course of the past four years, I've been touring the country and diving into the world of photography. I've driven enough miles now that I have figuratively circumnavigated the world at the equator. I'm on my third camera, and funny enough, my third car. The end result is the creation of a series of books called "Distance Til Empty", 8 volumes of books filled with photography from around the country, and even a few from Canada. I'm very proud of this achievement. Very proud. However, that being said, I'm proudest of one particular volume...
Volume VI of Distance Til Empty focuses on Louisiana. My travels in the swamps, my exploration into other cultures, and a few trips into New Orleans. As a matter of fact, I've been there before and after the Hurricane, and I've seen how the city has been forever altered. I've seen what it's done to the people and the culture, and more precisely, I've seen what it's done to the art world down there.
Therefore, since NOLA has given me so much in terms of inspiration over the years, I'm paying her back. All proceeds from Volume VI will be donated to the visual artists of New Orleans.
So if you end up picking up a copy of this book, you're not just doing it for one artist, you're doing it for a city of artists. It's not very often that doing so little can do so much for so many.
