PhotoNOLA 2020 is coming soon! I just went to see the FENCE, an outdoor exhibition featuring the work of over 100 photographers along the Lafitte Greenway (starting at Norman Francis Parkway by Bayou St. John & extending towards Broad St). Really enjoyed this beautiful day and seeing such a strong exhibition by photographers I know and love with artists I’m seeing for the first time – check it out!
