🌟 Celebrating Women's History Month 🌟 Dive into the incredible legacy of Dorothea Lange! 📸 Her pioneering style captured the raw essence of humanity, documenting the Great Depression, Japanese internment & beyond. 📷 Lange's impactful photography not only shaped the visual narrative of her time but continues to inspire generations, igniting social change through her lens. 🌹 There were three rules to which Lange always adhered: "Whatever I photograph, I do not molest or tamper with or arrange. Second: a sense of place. Whatever I photograph, I try to picture as part of its surroundings, as having roots. Third: a sense of time. Whatever I photograph, I try to show as having its position in the past or in the present." But - perhaps her quote “Put your camera around your neck along with putting on your shoes, and there it is, an appendage of the body that shares your life with you.” I can identify wiht the most ;) #girlpower #femalephotographers #womeninphotography #womeninphotojournalism #womenshistory #womeninphoto #womenshistorymonth2024 #WomensHistoryMonth #DorotheaLange #PhotographyIcon Images from MoMA website

Kicking off #womenshistorymonth I'll be highlighting a few of my favorite #femalephotographers both past and present. Diane Arbus- 1923-71 Arbus's style of photography was MADE for my home town of New Orleans. Her imagery often inspired how I interacted with the streets. "She photographed a wide range of subjects including strippers, carnival performers, nudists, people with dwarfism, children, mothers, couples, elderly people, and middle-class families.[5] She photographed her subjects in familiar settings: their homes, on the street, in the workplace, in the park. "She is noted for expanding notions of acceptable subject matter and violates canons of the appropriate distance between photographer and subject. By befriending, not objectifying her subjects, she was able to capture in her work a rare psychological intensity."- Wikipedia She came from an extremely affluent back ground but chose an alternative lifestyle to the socialite status of her mother. Arbus is an absolutely fascinating artist I could go on and on about. Tragically, Diane took her own life at the young age of 48. Photographer Joel Meyerowitz told journalist Arthur Lubow, "If she was doing the kind of work she was doing and photography wasn't enough to keep her alive, what hope did we have?" Sometime I wonder... In 1986, Arbus was inducted into the International Photography Hall of Fame and Museum. There are a number of documentations and films about her life and work. Take a journey into a brilliant mid that helped shape many iconic mages you know today. #womenshistory #WomensHistoryMonth #womenshistorymonth2024 #womenshistorymonth #girlpower #girlpower💪 #womeninphotography #womeninphoto #womeninphotography #womeninphotojournalism #dianearbus

It is with a heavy heart I make this post. After attempting all avenues (we could find) to expatriate Jolene to New Zealand it appears we just can't make it happen. Our sweet beloved Jeep is for sale. She's got 66,000 miles, has been lovingly maintained and meticulously outfitted with over $17,000 worth of upgrades. (the new owner will receive a manuscript thick folder of service records, manuals, receipts and notes). Enjoy this video of our amazing adventures and imagine the places you could go! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me. The Jeep is currently located in Baton Rouge, LA. E-bay listing link in the comments

This time of year, I'm usually DEEP in the Mardi Gras festivities with little sense of time or place. New Orleans carnival season is a time warp where the rest of the world melts away and the wheel of time stands still. Pictured here: 2022 riding the Tucks Kings float as 'Big Daddy' reigns over the Tucks parade. It was an honor to be a part of this truly unique and unforgettable experience. Happy #mardigras friends!
