FEATURED CONVERSATION—SEEING OUR HISTORY ON THE PAGE

Historian, author and journalist Errol Laborde, whose most recent book is When Rex Met Zulu and Other New Orleans Experiences, and John H. Lawrence, former director of Museum Programs and Curator of Photographs at the Historic New Orleans Collection, engage in a wide-ranging discussion based on John’s book, Louisiana Lens: Photographs from the Historic New Orleans Collection (2023), touching on historical topics, the nature of photography, building a photographic collection for research use, photographers working in Louisiana, and “reading” photographs in ways that transcend their content.
