232 Harry’s Hands, 1984 Gelatin silver photograph; 20 x 24 in. Arthur Roger Gallery ART IN CONTEMPORARY LOUISIANA DEBBIE FLEMING CAFFERY b. 1948, New Iberia, Louisiana Contemporary Louisiana photographer Debbie Fleming Caffery documents the people society often overlooks or undervalues: sugarcane workers, Mexican prostitutes, and the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Her black-and-white photographs give her subjects a mysterious, meditative quality, and often emphasize movement or pattern. The author of four photography books—Carry Me Home, The Shadows, Polly, and The Spirit and the Flesh— Caffery won a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2005. She received the Governor of Louisiana’s Art Award in 1989 and the 2011 Michael P. Smith Award for Documentary Photography from the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities. She was also the first winner of the Lou Stoumen Award in documentary photography. JRK  http://www.knowla.org/entry.php?rec=584 http://www.knowla.org/entry.php?rec=584
