Description
George Rodrigue kick off his Louisiana tour Here in Lake Charles. He talked about his art and why he did what. As You behind him; One of his Blue Dogs art work. he most likely the most famous living artist and maybe the most famous artist born and rise here in Louisiana. There other famous artist that was here in Louisiana but was not born here.
Say what you will about his Blue Dogs but he rich and laughing all the way to the bank. I do not know what history will do to him as I see that the artists that die poor is most remember that the ones that got rich in life. Of couse there was a lot of poor artist that die and no one hears about them too. so I do not know what history will do for this man.
I was in a room full with people and I had to rise my arms as high as I could go to get the shots I wish for. This one was the best one as others had a lot of movement as he was moving all the time talking. the lighting was bad and i did took some flash but I was too far away for it to do good as the images came out darker. I had my point and shoot camera at the time.

he 66 years old. You can look his name up on the net to see what all he did.
You did a nice job in capturing his photo despite all the problems Jock. I'm going to check out his art as he sounds like a very fascinating man
Interesting and well done this man!

I think he just came even more famous after you took this picture. Excellent job. Aloha
a nice "plug" in difficult conditions, as "an artist of your roots! Bravo Jocko, you're right to be proud of your culture Cajun!
I've seen a book of his work before and it is not only unique but passionate. Great to see a photo of him and well done under the circumstances.
Great shot considering the equipment you had Jocko.
~Great shot and interesting story!~
Great capture Jocko! :) You really need a large external flash setup for distant shots like that. That way he'll be walking into things blinking afterwards. ;D
Impressive, unusual.
Excellent capture and interesting informations! :)
Great shot and interesting informations. I like the picture behind him.

A very fine tribute and great photo-journalism....!!!!
SUPERB PORTRAIT! GREAT PHOTO!
I remember hearing something about this artist and his Blue Dog artwork.Good shot considering the conditions that you had.It must have been interesting to hear him explain his work.
Wonderful capture, Jocko! You did great.
Great lighting effects and composition in this posed shot, Jock, along with an interesting narrative.
A nice bit of local history (time will tell). Good one. ;-)
Hard capture to do, and usually without a press pass, they wont let you in with a "Professional Camera" with detachable lenses.
outstanding shot of a known artist
wonderful shot!!
interesting artist.
