Over the past 25 years Tobin and wife, Rachel, have been visiting this extraordinary city, sometimes with camera in hand and sometimes without. The photographs exhibited are based on a very personal experience of New Orleans, capturing the play of light and shadow on the buildings and reflections in the ever-present water that permeates the entirety of the city. The images also encompass the human character that epitomizes the essence of New Orleans.


There is also an intrinsic age to New Orleans, an age that is difficult to find anywhere else in North America. A place where the Choctaw gathered for thousands of years to trade along the shores of the mighty Mississippi, where people’s souls were enslaved and traded, where immigrants found safety, except for some whose lives ended by swinging from a tree. Where current businesses flourish in buildings constructed 300 years ago and where jazz was born.

Exhibit Dates: Thursday, May 29th through Sunday, June 29th.

Virtual Artists' Talk via Zoom, Thursday, May 5th, 7 PM.
