Photographer Frank Relle Brings New Orleans to Moscow | Newsweek

© Frank Relle Photography/frankrelle.com

The U.S. Embassy in Moscow to sponsor an exhibit called New Orleans in Photographs, which opens May 16 at the ultra-sleek Multi-Media Museum – Moscow House of Photography. Curated by New Orleans photographer Frank Relle, the show combines 100 large framed images by recognized photographers with another 1,000, smaller images culled from the photo-sharing social media app Instagram. Through New Orleans in Photographs, Russians get a chance to peek into the lives of everyday New Orleanians and people from southeast Louisiana, and to glimpse a more updated and complex view of a region known primarily by stereotypical images: Bourbon Street, Mardi Gras, the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Mardi Gras in New Orleans: A Gallery of What You Missed | AOL Travel @JetDude

Mardi Gras isn't only about topless girls and drunken antics on New Orleans' Bourbon Street – though there's definitely plenty of that among the city's tourist population – it's also about spending time with family and friends, putting work on hold and forgetting about life's hardships, if only for a few days. Children joined drunken partiers along the parade route, though few could be found in the French Quarter, with the occasional youngster tossing beads from a balcony...

A Brooklynite on the Ice: The Whitest Second Line I've Ever Seen (blog)

On Saturday, director/photographer James Demaria brought a bit of New Orleans to New York City as he coordinated and filmed a non-permitted second line across the Brooklyn Bridge.

from Richard Fleming's blog:

...the Brooklyn Bridge Second Line seemed to have no particular purpose beyond an expression of pure and communal Easter weekend joy. Under a piercing blue sky a small troupe of musicians and dancers tromped and pranced up the boardwalk, to the bemusement and smiles of gaggles of international tourists taking advantage of the New York's greatest single free attraction, a Saturday morning stroll across the bridge...

Toilets of New Orleans | hardgeus.com #nola

The bathroom was quite high traffic on this particular night, and I had to stand in the stall pretending to go for quite a while before I was alone. The second the door closed I hit the flash and the deed was done. Because of the somewhat stressful circumstances under which the photograph was taken, it ended up being a somewhat haphazard shot.

Fourth Annual Katrina Artistically Revisited FREE Anniversary Special Event

press release

THE FOURTH ANNUAL
KATRINA ARTISTICALLY REVISITED
FREE Anniversary Special Event
The Landmark Canal Place Cinema Theatre
333 Canal Street, 3rd Floor
New Orleans, Louisiana
ONE HOUR:  August 28, 2009 - 11:30 PM

KATRINA ARTISTICALLY REVISITED is our 4th annual, one-hour-only, midnight special event in New Orleans to commemorate the anniversary of Katrina "in memory of those we lost and to honor those who survived".

At the Landmark Canal Place Cinema Theatre, the producers of "Katrina Artistically Revisited", Patty Lee and Armand St. Martin, offer a respectful and unique artistic multi-media experience, free to the public.

This 2009 grassroots event includes original Katrina songs by Bruce "Sunpie" Barnes, Jay Chevalier and Armand St. Martin.

Barnes, a blues/zydeco/Afro-Louisiana music recording artist, has entertained in over 35 countries, and appears in over 13 national commercials, feature length films and documentaries, and will perform his powerful song, "Didn't It Rise".  Chevalier, a Cajun-music recording artist and member of the National Rockabilly Hall of Fame, who is also the Official State of Louisiana Troubadour, will feature his Official Hurricane Recovery Song "Come Back To Louisiana".  Roots Rock 'n' Roll music recording artist, St. Martin, who has served up original local music in venues ranging from the Superdome and Jazz Fest to the Ritz-Carlton-New Orleans, will showcase  his "Orleans Lullaby" off his new CD "Katrina Anthem".

"These songs inspire us to never forget how our lives were changed forever by Katrina and to move forward with hope while remembering those who perished," says producer Patty Lee.

Katrina Artistically Revisited also features a short DVD film, "Stillness. . . the aftermath of Katrina" by photographer-producer Dennis Couvillion, with a moving soundtrack by Dean Dupuy, Ramsey Mcclean and Armand St. Martin. "Stillness" is a poignant story told through the eyes of Couvillion with his award-winning photographs taken while traversing the flood-damaged neighborhoods of New Orleans after Katrina.

An additional program highlight is a photo film-essay on the big screen by the New Orleans Kid Camera Project headed up by Executive Directors, Joanna Rosenthal and Ariya Martin, with a live music accompaniment by Armand St. Martin.  This project is "an unfiltered view of New Orleans through the eyes of its youth, and was created to address the psychological and emotional impacts of Hurricane Katrina."

Additionally, a "Trailer" will be shown for "Katrina's Children," a documentary, courtesy of Executive Producer of the film, Richard Colton. This represents a shortened version of this documentary which is a "multi-faceted portrait of 18 New Orleans children, told through their eyes about the impact of Hurricane Katrina on their lives after returning home."

Photographs on screen will include Katrina photos by award-winning photographers Mark Sindler of the Louisiana State Museum, Donn Young, formerly the official photographer for the Port of New Orleans, as well as by Katrina archivist and writer, Patty Lee.

Several guests are always invited to share their personal Katrina stories with the audience, "adding yet another dimension to our memorable multi-media special community event on the eve of the anniversary of Katrina," states the producers.  - P.Lee

Please come early to visit about Katrina in the lobby of the theatre, meet the artists, and share your own Katrina stories with each other as you mingle before the program begins.

Everybody is Welcome and Encouraged to attend our FREE, ONE HOUR commemorative anniversary experience.
