TITLE: Heritage

"Heritage" is a series of photographs which started with a desire to capture the nostalgia I felt for my homeland of southern Louisiana. What resulted is a body of work representing not just the southern landscape, but a piece of heritage anguished by old beliefs and customs. This series is a reminder for what my region has come to represent; a land with a dark history which continues to fade into anonymity.
