Dear Everyone,
I'm happy to announce that we have a new video up at www.nolahopeandheritage.org !!!! Between Sidney Wilder's thoughtful words and Todd Schmidt's beautiful photography, editing, and soundtrack (with a contribution from a friend of his) -- not to mention a cameo appearance by my beloved neice, Rachel -- this one is really special. John Mooney's "Sacred Ground" wilhave you chair-dancing and the images of our vanishing wetlands, so perilously close to New Orleans, will bring tears to your eyes. If this were the only thing The New Orleans Hope and Heritage Project had produced, I'd be very proud. Good and much appreciated work, everyone.
The website's video screen is pretty small so the facts displayed during the video are quite scrunched. If you have a way to maximize the video window on your computer, please do so. Otherwise, come to the opening reception of "Uncertain Territory: Losing Louisiana," a group retrospective of selct work from the past participants of the first 5 years of The Grand Isle Annual Juried Exhibitions on Thursday, October 4th, from 6-8 p.m., at Issac Delgado Fine Arts Gallery (671-6363), where the video will be screened in a larger format.
Meanwhile, we have produced 15 of the 49 videos for this project. We have enough funding to produce possibly two more videos, but then the well runs dry. We would certainly appreciate any donations of any size that anyone is able to make. The New Orleans Hope and Heritage Project is a non-profit public charity so any donations are tax deductable.
As always, all comments and feedback are very welcome.
Keep the faith.
Love,
Sallie Ann
