New Orleans To Moscow
Sponsored by the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, New Orleans in Photographs is a cultural exchange intended to showcase a renowned American city, one known world-wide for its music and food, but one that also came to international attention through the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Frank Relle, with assistance from Catie Sampson, curated a set of images to broadly introduce a Russian audience to the layered culture of the region, through the formal lenses of 58 professionals and the intimate perspectives of 147 social media photographers. Themes include Family, Food, Landscape, Music, Religion, Sport, Festivals, Mardi Gras, Industry and Architecture.
