"Blessed be the Reconstruction" a series in perpetual process
"My fate has brought me to New Orleans, La. Here I have been graciously welcomed into a world which is a world all its own. Here human expression is a way of life. It echoes down the streets in sweet rhythms infecting even those without ears to listen. I was called here by the human indecency exposed by the great flood. I was called here to begin my life as an artist. So here I live and here I rest, dreaming my world, my future and expressing my understanding through the arts."
