Richard Sexton's New Orleans: A Photo Guide to the Wild Melange, offers the viewer a compelling insider's look into the culture and rituals of America's most unique city. 136 pages.
New Orleans: A Photo Guide to the Wild Mélange is a playful and at times irreverent homage to the “northernmost Caribbean city,” one of many monikers for New Orleans. Noted local photographer Richard Sexton has focused on a panoply of subjects for which New Orleans is so well known—landmarks, streetscapes, cemeteries, music, food, markets, shops, festivals, rituals, clubs, dive bars. It’s all here, showcased in fresh, surprising ways. With a design inspired by the big picture magazines of the 1960s and 70s, the photo essay begins with the Mississippi River and culminates with Ash Wednesday, the day after Mardi Gras, and the beginning of recovery for the next cycle of ritual and revelry. Sexton’s images span over thirty years, beginning in the early 90s, right up to the present, and they include many revered New Orleans haunts and institutions that have been lost to time. The rollicking photo essay is complemented by insightful and at times quirky observations and recommendations from noted contributors. For the tourist, this is not only the perfect memento of a memorable visit, but a rich resource to use during your stay. For locals, it’s a poignant reminder—This is why I live here.
with contributions from Snake & Jake’s Christmas Club Lounge owner, David Clements; cultural historian Randolph Delehanty, PhD; and noted journalist Mimi Read; book design by Kayla Stark Wallace
