I heard Ashley Hunt, the photographer, interviewed on KUHF radio yesterday and I can’t wait to see his show, “Notes on the Emptying of a City.”
Ashley went to New Orleans with a service group from California after Hurricane Katrina; he was on the team to document the aftereffects of the storm. Instead of doing the usual gallery show, he has put together a performance piece that integrates images, interviews, and perspectives about the experience.
In the radio interview, he sounded thoughtful, insightful, and clear about his work and how/why he was doing it…an aware artist with purpose.
See photographer Ashley Hunt’s website for more info about him…

Tonight, Eldorado Ballroom, 7:00 PM (2310 Elgin Street)…sponsored by Project Row Houses, Houston.
“Take the binding from around the foot
of your soul, and let it race around the track
in front of the crowd.”
– Rumi
I love this! It’s inspiring to me on a deeply inner level, and I also smile every time I get the visual.
Rumi is the master at using images to evoke the inner truths he is teaching.
A photographer of words….
