Some places remember for us.

Happy Birthday Joa of Arc

I was asked to photograph a street that no longer exists, rebuilt carefully for Interview with the Vampire.

Photography and cinema both ask us to imagine and to believe. Sometimes they invent truth by building a fiction slowly, carefully, until it feels real.

The night makes room.

Back in the studio, new prints coming off the table.

Curious if studio process is something you’d want to see more of here.

I drove until cell reception faded away.
The song turned to static.
Looking for a place where the world loosens its edges,
a horizon that asks nothing of me.

@breezeemax The Atchafalaya Basin in Louisiana. Thanks!

The morning I made this photograph, time seemed to stretch as the clouds and colors moved slowly across the sky.

Growing up in Louisiana, I spent countless evenings listening to Dave McNamara’s Heart of Louisiana stories. His voice carried the landscape, the people, and the mystery of this place into my imagination long before I ever paddled into a swamp with a camera. His voice has always felt like the sound of home.

So it’s a real honor to share that Dave spent a night with me in the Atchafalaya Basin for a new Heart of Louisiana segment. He followed me out into the water after dark, where I searched by moonlight for the quiet spaces between the cypress trees.

Under the Bridge honors the spirit of collaboration and the connection between Louisiana's natural history and the engineering that makes life here possible.

The light finds a path through the forest of shadows.

This summer, I installed my largest photograph ever—25 ft wide and 17 ft tall—beneath the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge.

Created with 12 collaborators, the piece marks 20 years since Hurricane Katrina, linking Louisiana’s natural history with the engineering that makes life here possible.

@AndrewYang It’s not the first time.

[Frank Relle @frankrelle]

@BootKreweMedia That's the one.

@RealEmirHan Insane.

@twinkletongue Practice makes perfect.

@SteveGleason @Saints @wakingup What a joy to be with you @SteveGleason! After 8 hours, is it craving if I want more? Let’s do 5 days! Thanks @wakingup for the insights.
