Episode 173: Louisiana Through the Lens with John Lawrence

Louisiana Insider

Louisiana is a state full of images: the swamps, New Orleans, Mardi Gras, sunsets over the Gulf, shrimp boats, musicians and you can add a touch of Voodoo. Longtime curator for The Historic New Orleans Collection John Lawrence joins Louisiana Life Executive Editor Errol Laborde, along with producer Kelly Massicot, to discuss the history of photography as presented in the collection’s must-have new publication, “Louisiana Lens.” The book is filled with fascinating images dating back from the early days of “metal, paper and glass” photography to the present digital explosion. Lawrence also recalls some of his all-time favorite photographs.
