Our own Dr. Tom Stigall recently exhibited some of his work at the gallery of the Coates Guest House in the Baton Rouge area. The exhibition was part of the Louisiana Photography Society and Tom’s work was combined with that of three other photographers.
The report from the Society’s newsletter noted:
“Tom Stigall is a retired psychologist whose approach to photography is guided by a desire to create images that are meaningful, not only for himself, but for others as well. He seeks to preserve images that will be experienced by the viewer as aesthetically pleasing, sympathetic and nurturing, awe-inspiring, or arresting.”
The work of the photographers was well received, said the Society’s review. The Guest House is also the venue for the LPS juried show to be held in April. For information go to laphotosociety.com,
Dr. Tom Stigall took this image on a recent stopover in Paris. He calls it “Homeless in the City of Light,” and considers it an example of “street photography” or photojournalism.
