For three years I worked—in conjunction with The Ponderosa Stomp Foundation— as the main photo researcher for the ambitious, beautiful and informative musical tour map A Closer Walk, where you can explore New Orleans musical history block by block.
A massive thank you to the esteemed A Studio in The Woods for granting myself and —fellow visual anthropologist + collaborator— Gretchen Faust a winter residency to complete a short documentary and accompanying book on Louisiana female herbal healers. Hot damn, I could’t be more excited to live and create in the woods for a bit.
Couldn’t be more excited to receive funding from Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms to create a short documentary and photo series on five farms in the U.S. Blackbelt region. The work will highlight farmers whose work is dedicated to social justice while infusing their respective local economy.
