Craig Tracy Painted Alive Body Painting Gallery

jmoran — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:38:46 +0000

Another client and good friend I had the pleasure of running into today is Craig Tracy of “PAINTED ALIVE” Body painting Gallery in the French Quarter. Craig is an extremely talented artist and his work is breathtaking…..I have had the pleasure of doing a shoot with him last year on his piece entitled “Koi”. Here are some of the images from the shoot illustrating the process from the start, where it all starts with a concept and image, to the actual painting and finally the amazing results! …..I spend a considerable amount of time doing on site shoots for marketing ,architecture, and other various endeavors……this one was one of the most amazing, not just “aesthetically”, but watching Craig work his magic is truly a gift in itself. You should check out his gallery in the Quarter if you haven’t already. Craig Tracy’s Painted Alive Body Painting Gallery is located at 827 Royal St. in the French Quarter. If you are in town or a local and haven’t been in the gallery, be sure to stop in next time you down there and tell him Jerry sent ya! Check his website it out too, cool stuff!

Danny Burns Upcoming CD Shoot

jmoran — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 13:17:33 +0000

A few weeks ago I had the distinct pleasure of doing a shoot for Danny Burns while he was recording with George Porter Jr. and Mean Willie Green. They were recording over at a very cozy studio in the 9th ward called “House of 1000hz” run by sound Engineer Andrew Gilchrist. This was just a preliminary recording session and the cd will be out sometime later this year, something to really look forward too. The final shoot for the cd will take place in a couple months, I’ll keep you posted about this intriguing project, really good stuff……If this is your first time here and you would like to get on my mailing list or want more info, just reply or comment below.

My Photography on Artist Canvas

jmoran — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 16:54:56 +0000

While preparing an order for hanging today, I thought it would be cool to put some of the examples of what photography on artist canvas looks like. All of my canvases are 1.5 inches thick and are image wrap around. Archival inks are used on these canvases, which are printed directly onto an artist canvas then wrapped around a wooden frame….yes, NO FRAMING NECESSARY!! Some immediate gratification for ya with a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all work! I also specialize in custom sizing for spaces not conducive to normal sizes, such as long rectangular scenes, etc, and I shoot in RAW so all images can be made as large as you want, just ask…have done these for restaurants, offices, etc… My canvases, as is the vast majority of my work are available only in limited editions of 100 or less(very few exceptions) and are considered original pieces of art. Since my gallery is located in one of the designated “Art’s District’s” of New Orleans…there is NO TAX on the purchase of pieces that fall into this category….pretty cool stuff! You can thank Mayor Mitch Landrieu for this important program! Of course I offer all of my work in archival print format and the same edition rules apply….just wanted to demystify the canvas thing.

If this is your first time here, glad to have you visit! Been a pretty busy last few months but have finally had some time to go through the past year, at least a little bit….Over the past few months met a ton of new folks and it has been a pleasure talking with all, so many people out there from all over truly moved by our wonderful and unique culture. There is a lot of material to see on the site, you can expand the categories or older posts tab at the bottom of this page and look around that way, along the top of this page there are several tabs to activate by clicking, the most popular being the portfolio/slideshow tab which will bring you to a page where I have posted about 15 musical slideshows of some events I have covered and shoots I have done, ENJOY! I have only had the time to put about 10% of my work on the site but you get the idea of what I do, the good news is that I have a Studio and Gallery in the Bywater at which you can have access to all of my work. Having people over to the gallery is the part of what I do that I enjoy most because ultimately we all become good friends after what was supposed to be a 20 minute visit turns into 5 hours. So don’t hesitate to give me a buzz and make an appointment, I live next door and work here so if I’m not out on a shoot, I’m generally available by appointment at anytime my schedule permits! I have an inventory of autographed limited edition prints on hand autographed by Dr. John, George Porter Jr., Kermit Ruffins, Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, Al “Carnival Time” Johnson, Anders Osborne, Cyril Neville, John Mooney, Uncle Lionel Batiste, Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews and Juvenile and Big Sam Williams and if I don’t have them on hand I can easily arrange to have any print autographed upon request, just inquire for details….and you can be assured that the musicians are paid generously from your purchase of these special prints. As you can see what my passion is, I do have a large inventory of New Orleans scenes and Architecture which embody the same beautiful message. I also am set up for on site or in studio photo shoots and have many large corporate clients working with them in fields such as marketing, architecture and food. I also shoot occasional weddings alone, concentrating on capturing the most personal, powerful and intimate moments of such a special occasion. If you like my work and want to see the work from any of these fields, do not hesitate to contact me and I will be more than happy to send you comprehensive references and portfolio’s in the field selected. Enjoy the site and I look forward to talking soon! Jerry

Anders Osborne’s American Patchwork set for release April 27th

jmoran — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 19:45:18 +0000

Anders Osborne’s new cd “American Patchwork” is set for release on April 27th, just in time for Jazz Fest…and believe me…it’s some serious fire! We did a short shoot earlier this month for the cd design and I also shot the sessions at Studio in the Country back in September. These are some of the images from the shoot, a couple from Studio in the Country, and a live shot or two associated with this cd. Anders was recently signed by Bruce Iglauer, President of Alligator Records and new client of mine….. here is a short clip from the press release..”Alligator Records is proud to announce the signing of award-winning guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Anders Osborne. Osborne’s Alligator Records debut album, American Patchwork, is a moving collection of soul-baring roots rock, blues and ballads. Many of the songs on American Patchwork deal with healing and redemption, spirituality and acceptance. Often compared to Townes Van Zandt, Bruce Springsteen and Van Morrison, Osborne is an exceptional and singular talent. Paste Magazine says, “Osborne has an impossibly great voice and the songs to match.” American Patchwork will be released on April 27, 2010.” The band accompanying Anders on this incredible recording include the likes of Stanton Moore, Robert Walter, and Pepper Keenan…..this should give you an idea of whats on the horizon…Anders manager is Rueben Williams, Thunderbird Management Group…. If your interested in seeing the shoot from Studio in the Country, I have it on my site at http://nativeorleanian.com/anders-osborne-american-patchwork/…Enjoy the pics and get ready for Anders!!!

Bury the Aint’s Second Line

jmoran — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 21:55:21 +0000

Here are some of the images from yesterday’s Bury the Aint’s Second Line, was a total blast and the crowd was huge! No surprise there….Lenny Kravitz joined in for a bit, and there were plenty of the usual suspects. These are the ones I was able to do today, will get to the rest this week, but you should get a good taste here….WHO DAT!!! “Short Story for WWOZ’s Website“…The Aint’s Bags (classic brown paper with eyeholes) of the past were officially laid to rest as only New Orleans could at last weekend’s”Bury the Aint’s” Second Line. With rousing chants of “Who Dat!” as well as paper bags and signs with “Aint’s No Mo’” everywhere, the second line was led by trombonist Glen David Andrews accompanied by singer/songwriter Paul Sanchez and the Baby Boyz Brass Band. The weather was beautiful and so was the crowd, which included Leroy “The Whistle Monsta” Mitchell, The Saints Pope and Cardinals, Dancingman504, Tambourine Green and plenty of other local celebrities. Rock star Lenny Kravitz even joined in for the carrying of the ceremonial “Aint’s No More” casket and the massive march from St. Philip and N. Robertson towards the Quarter. The second line cruised down N. Rampart, up Esplanade, and then on Chartres. It ended at d.b.a. on Frenchmen Street, where Glen David Andrews continued to wow the Who Dat Nation on the bandstand. Another memorable day indeed! If this is your first time here and you would like to get on my mailing list or want more info, just reply or comment below.

Along the way we ran into a bunch of other tribes and then hooked up with friends Cyril and Gayneille Neville, Billy Iuso, and many more……We left from there with Phil Breen and headed downtown to try and catch some of the downtown tribes……I wound up cruising over to Treme and caught up with a few but the sun was comin down….headed back to Frenchmen and the Quarter for a bit, then on in…..Was a GREAT day all around…here are some of the images from my travels…..Enjoy!!!
