Boek

Een boek dat in september verschijnt. De toch ietwat merkwaardige geschiedenis van het boek en waarover David Haberstich, de curator fotografie van het befaande Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. schrijft:
"Dutch photographer Emile Waagenaar has traveled from Breda in the Netherlands to Louisiana over 35 years in order to seek out, befriend and photograph Cajun musicians. These well-composed portraits are made in their homes, businesses and concert environments. Although his subjects are rendered with dignity, sometimes unusual or quirky aspects of certain personalities and seemingly incongruous details also are displayed in whimsical pictures imbued with gentle humor. Through his dedicated, sensitive efforts, he is performing an important cultural and historical service."
