Local artists

White traveling and touring the city of New Orleans, I saw some beautiful pieces of artwork. It was very hard to find one particular place that stood out more than any other. Many of my favorites were located around the square another one of my particular favorite pieces were at a shop called PHOTO WORKS located on Jackson Square at St, Ann the artist there was Louis Sahuc. Louis Sahuc is a freelance photographer and French Quarter preservationist. He currently lives and works on Jackson Square. Louis was fortunatly at the shoo when we visited and states that he fell in love with New Orleans as a little boy in the 1940s and 50s.he went to college and worked a retail job in sales before finding photography. It was in the early 1970s for advertising, fashion, architecture, corporate, editorial and private clients, but his favorite has always been of New Orleans. Photo Works was opened in 1995 and he began showing the architecture and uniqueness of life in New Orleans’ French Quarter. Photo Works photographs are signed and numbered limited edition artwork. All photographs are available 13″ x 19 or 17″ x 22″. Most are available 20″ x 24".
 The picture above is titled "Red Sky". This was one of my favorite  pieces as it appears to be very subtle and simple but yet encompasses so much of the past, present, and future of New Orleans  I found this piece to be very focused as most of the photos at Photo Works sre, and is able to tell a large amount of history and information in a very uncomplicated manner.

Another  of my favorites is "Orleans St".  This particular piece stood out to me because it also is uncomplicated, but very direct in where the historical roots of this town originates. It also makes me realize that despite all the misfortune that has striken this city, it will always be able to see the good and prevail  all of the different cultures and lifestyles ultimately are reflected with this one single shot
