He'd put the lens to good use to connect the communities of people around him, documenting the annual Second Line festivities and the various Mardi Gras Indians tribes and krewes. And, without fail – because it was impossible not to – they came to love him, and he them. /27

My dear friend of 30 years. So many adventures with you that I’ll never forget. I wouldn’t have expected that when I talked to you recently that it’d be the last time. I’m heartbroken. Gonna miss you, boyo.
