![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
shadowangelina instead.Keeping up this many journals has ended in me not doing well on any so time for a cut back.
So...come join me at
shadowangelina for photography, stories, questions, revelations and discussions.Shadow Angelina, 31, was born in Louisiana and raised on the Atlantic coast of South Florida.
She is both self-taught and schooled at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts.
Heritage and grief brought her back to New Orleans where she has lived for over 15 years.
She has traveled and photographed in Australia, England, Ireland, Scotland, Italy, the Czech Republic,
13 states and the District of Columbia.
She is the daughter of an Irish father and a Cajun/Cherokee mother.
Her family has lived in New Orleans since 1727.
The struggle to understand her own eye, to find an artistic outlet
and her desire to explain to others how she sees the world brought her on the journey to photography.
Inspired by loss, crumbling beauty, enduring devotion, religion, honoring the past,
places once loved or needed intensely but now forgotten,
self-actualization, abandon and the lush landscape of the human experience,
her passion and work bleeds, drowning you in whatever she shows you.
Update:
These inspirations have been all the more amplified since the landfall
of Hurricane Katrina and subsequent federal levee breaches in August 2005.
After homelessness and exile in England, she and her family have returned to New Orleans.
The passion to see, document and preserve this life altering experience and the phenomenal people impacted by it is yet another motivation.
Shadow Angelina lives in New Orleans with
her dogs Morgan, Mischa and Maila
and a cat, Auchentoshen.
If you live near or will be visiting the New Orleans area
and are interested in being photographed by Shadow Angelina,
