The original photo, “I Left My Drums in ‘68” combined with a series of giant blue herons I photographed in Perdido Key, Florida. Made mid-pandemic, when we all needed imaginary friends to look out for us.

Ernest Joseph Bellocq (1873–3 October 1949) was an photographer who worked in New Orleans during the early 20th century, focused on the sex workers of Storyville. This combines one of his most famous portraits, from 1915, with my own photography of a wet banana leaf in Jackson Square, as well as a NASA moon image and a few tidbits thrown in for fun measure. Available in alternate colorways, by request.
