Description
Hello! I am from San Diego, California relocated to NOLA now for 15 years. I am a photographer, work photography adventure travel and run a community based arts nonprofit with an emphasis in photography. I've owned a home in New Orleans for 11 years now and have another historic blighted home I'm looking to renovate. I continuously need help with small projects. The nonprofit needs help with research, grant-writing and capacity building projects. We can offer everything you want to know about photography!
I've been getting quite a few requests with interest in the non-profit which makes me realize I should try to set up a residency! I wish I could host everyone! If you find another place but would still like to get involved with the photo community in New Orleans, check out the New Orleans Photo Alliance.
