Take a visual journey through Louisiana! The extraordinary photographs showcased in Louisiana 24/7 are an extension of the America 24/7 project, an unprecedented digital photography venture that harnessed the talents of more than 25,000 local photographers in all 50 states. This remarkable book showcases 632 images adding up to a panoramic view of life across this beautiful land, from oil rigs on the Gulf to grandma s swimming hole in Ville Platte. You ll discover heartwarming photographs that perfectly capture the spirit of Louisiana, with images of: A biker in Baton Rouge riding with his dog Sheba Auctioneers hauling gilded furniture out of an old Burnside plantation house A 71-year-old painter eyeing rice fields on the Louisiana prairie Shreveport casinos glittering in the twilight And more! From the old-world joie de vivre of the French Quarter to the humid backwaters of the bayou, the state that s still arranged by parishes is a subsection of America unlike any other. It s a place where the Cajuns of Acadia still speak French, and the Creoles continue to ignore the spread of les Américains. The photographs of Louisiana 24/7 celebrate all of it and the human intimacy inside, where the heart is.
