Standing Room Only
The Telling Their Stories program was a standing-room only success at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans Saturday, August 21, 2010. Jim Tucker, speaker for the Louisiana House of Representatives, opened the program with commentary on his experience from Hurricane Katrina.
“We are moving in the right direction, trying to put back the pieces of a city that is so unique to the world,” Tucker said.
Tucker, who said he was very moved by the 53-image exhibit of Katrina photographs, introduced keynote speaker Douglas Brinkley. Brinkley, a historian and professor at Rice University, stressed the need for the Gulf Coast region to preserve the south Louisiana wetlands. Brinkley also expressed gratitude for the photographers showing the perils of Katrina to the world.

Professional photojournalists, this is your opportunity to give back to the people of New Orleans by investing time with the young visual journalists of tomorrow.
We are looking for six to eight team leaders. Team leaders will lead a team of about three students in a visual essay on a particular topic. About, 20 young photographers will have the opportunity to work hand-in-hand with some of the photojournalists that told the stories of Hurricane Katrina’s devastation in a one-day workshop.
The workshop is a free and open to students ages 13 to 20.
The Telling Their Stories: The Soul of New Orleans Workshop is designed to promote storytelling of a people and culture in the Crescent City in the years after Hurricane Katrina. The workshop will encourage students to document and reveal the unbroken soul of the city through its people, places and landmarks through still photography and multi-media storytelling.
If you are interested in participating or know someone who would like to participate, please contact Johnny Hanson at 713-703-7708.
More information on the educational program can be found on our education page.

Selection Process is Complete
Curator David Houston has made his final selection of images for the exhibit.
The jury process was completed during the NPPA Convergence in Charleston, SC on July 10, 2010 . The panel consisted of Tom Kennedy, Ron Londen, Tim Rasumussen and Bruce Strong who volunteered their time to judge a total of 594 entries from 87 photographers from around the world.
Those photographs were then forwarded to David at the Ogden who completed his selection of images for the show this week. His selections are now being sent to Canon for printing.
For clarification, this was not a contest, it is a juried exhibit. There were no winners per se. This was a juried process to find the best images to tell the story of what happened five years ago. One observer described the jury panel process as, “more like watching a story being edited than watching a contest being judged.”
That being said, we know everyone is anxious to know if whose photos were be selected for the exhibit, so here is the list of the photographers whose work was selected by the jury and curator for inclusion in the show: Continue →
