Photographer Scott Saltzman strives to create imagery encapsulating the feeling of a moment or time frame, to create a 1000 word essay with a single image. Scott has been residing in New Orleans as a freelance photographer for over 30 years. During that time,  his experience living, exploring and documenting the raw, albeit sometimes subtle, emotional energy found in live performance (and other avenues of life)  has helped him create an archive with some truly sentinel images of and for the times.  Some of those images can be seen here, here and on his website.
