Here is another little blog mention of the PhotoNOLA festival. This time my evil twin Mr. Yaum is mentioned as "Internationally Prominent" (I wish that we're true) in the same sentence as Edward Burtynsky, and Andres ("Piss Christ") Serrano. I found that sentence shocking, I am only mistakedly spoke of in that way because I fit into the unique international category at PhotoNOLA. Still its a nice mistake and thank you John for posting it.
Having all this attention is very nice but it is not all that important. I just wish I could make enough money at the photography so I could stop working as guard and devote myself 100% to the people and making pics. To have the freedom to make photos everyday for the rest of my life , is all that matters to me.
Below is the post and a link to the blog, it is written by the photographer John N Wall.

PhotoNOLA opens today, December 12th, for its annual 4-day run.
PhotoNOLA is quickly becoming a major event in Southern photography. The folks in New Orleans pack a lot of life, energy, and photography into just a few days' time.
Organized by the New Orleans Photo Alliance, in partnership with the galleries, museums and photographers of New Orleans, PhotoNOLA offers a wide range of photography exhibitions, many of which are ondisplay not just this weekend, but also throughout the month.
Work on display includes images by photographers with (dare I say) a Southern focus like Deborah Luster or Emerson Matabele (see image above) but also nationally and internationally prominent photographers like Andres Serrano, Edward Burtynsky, and Gerry Yaum.
The festival lineup also includes portfolio reviews, workshops, lectures,demonstrations, book signings and the PhotoGALA.
And, wherever you are during PhotoNOLA, you've got New Orleans itself right outside the door. Let the good times roll!
