KATRINA UPDATE
From Richard Sexton:
I received an outpouring of concerned emails, particularly in the immediate aftermath of Katrina, and I tried to respond to all of them. But, those were confused and frantic days and I'm not certain that I replied to everyone. Even if I managed to be absolutely efficient in the face of a great deal of adversity and distraction, a definitive update is probably in order.
I'm happy to report that everything has been back to normal at the studio since January 2006. In the fall of 2005, a temporary studio was set up at my Florida residence so that work could continue, more or less as normal, through the end of the year. Except for large format digital printing, all other services were provided at the temporary location in a corner of the living room and the entirety of the dining table of a small Florida cottage.
Back in New Orleans I was extremely fortunate in that there was no flooding, nor was there roof damage significant enough to cause interior damage. The flood waters came to within about three blocks and the deeper flood water, that actually made it into buildings, was several blocks away. There was no power for about six weeks and no phone for six months. Partial operations were restored in New Orleans in October and by December all services were transferred back to the New Orleans location. Since then I've actually expanded operations.
That's a photo of me nailing felt on the roof of the studio two weeks after Katrina. New Orleans was still under mandatory evacuation, but we used press credentials (courtesy of Chronicle Books) to get back in the city. My studio manager, Jonathan Traviesa, is on the ladder. The neon spray paint markings were left by the Louisiana State Police who had come by searching for corpses a couple of days earlier on 9/11/05. (Photo above courtesy Mike Smith ©2005; below, courtesy of Jonathan Traviesa)
I look forward to many more years of operation in New Orleans.

MEMORY CHAMBERS
Photographs by Richard Sexton: 1991-2003
For the month of October, 2003, the Academy Gallery featured, in both its galleries, the work of photographer and Academy instructor, Richard Sexton. This exhibit was a major retrospective of Richard Sexton's work over the past twelve years. In 1991, Sexton moved to New Orleans, which would prove to be a professional milestone. In 1993, New Orleans: Elegance And Decadence was published, a best-selling photographic book that has become a contemporary classic. It has been followed by five highly acclaimed book titles and numerous editorial commissions. "I feel the timeframe that began with my move to New Orleans in 1991 has been my most productive and rewarding as a photographer. This exhibit is devoted entirely to local and regional subjects I've photographed since moving here?commissions and book projects combined with a lot of personal, or self-assigned, work."
The photographs were divided into two bodies of work. Gallery A was devoted to color images and Gallery B to black and white. Thematically, the work were similar, but the inherent differences in medium provided a logical division. Even though the exhibit was a retrospective, a substantial number of the images had not been exhibited previously. The exhibit consisted of 24 quadtone pigment prints and 26 Iris and color pigment prints.
