E. J. Bellocq was a French creole commercial photographer who was based in New Orleans, Louisiana in the early 20th century. His photographic work came to light when eighty-nine of his glass plate negatives from the red-light district Storyville were accidentally discovered in 1958 by Lee Friedlander in varying degrees of wear and tear while others appeared to have been intentionally defaced. In 1970, Friedlander would go on to publish a book of prints he had made from Bellocq’s negatives with the aid of the Museum of Modern Art making Bellocq’s fame known and posthumous. Remarkably, these photographs and a series from his work for a World War I shipbuilding company are the only work of Bellocq that are known to exist. (Masters of Photography).

No one had their photograph taken without their permission and everyone was willing. It did not appear that he strictly asked them how to pose, but he may have asked them to pose in a way in which they expressed it themselves. He did not appear to be a photographer who looked down on women nor did he show a heavy emphasis on disturbing forms of fetishism. The only disturbing part of this series is how they were discovered to be vandalized. There is speculation that his heavily conservative Jesuit brother, Leo, may have intentionally marred the faces of his subjects out of spite. When Bellocq was in the hospital, he went to his brother’s apartment and poorly stored his negatives. (Smithsonian) It is unlikely that Bellocq ruined his own photographs he took the time to make especially with the amount of respect and trust he had with his subjects. Prostitution is not the greatest occupation but it was one that many women at the time took on to make ends meet, and his brother may have been one of the many who saw prostitution as an evil to society.

Russell Edwards, the owner of a 126-year-old shawl, which was claimed to have been found at one of Jacks murder scenes, states that he has found DNA evidence identifying Jack. The shawl was believed to have been found at Catherine Eddowes’, the fourth victim, murder scene. Edwards claims that he has a letter that proves that the shawl belonged to Sergeant Simpson, who was on duty the night of Eddowes’ murder (Conner). According to record, Simpson never washed the shawl of the blood and put it into storage, where it stayed until being sold to Edwards. With the DNA samples and the descendants, the blood found on the shawl was a match to Eddowes, and upon discovering semen on the shawl, a match was made to the Kosminski family. Jari Louhelainen,
Imagine you are a crew member of a wooden union war ship in the Civil war. Your with a large group of ships and you create a blockade of a Confederate port.

Today’s issue with schools named after our first prime minister, John A. Macdonald may not be worth doing something about but maybe having a good discussion about. Changing the names of monuments and things named after historical figures from the past because of racism is not ideal because of how things were and how people thought in the past which cannot be judged by our present eyes but maybe, the reasons for their wrongdoings could be well understood now for humanity to never make the same mistakes and move forward into a better future where our past is understood and respected but also seen both the good way and the bad way.
When one gazes at the posed risqué photos that the photographer E. J. Bellocq took during the Storyville era many questions arise as to, who the female models were, where did they work, and why? Storyville was a legalized red light district in New Orleans. Storyville was the answer to the ongoing crime problem in New Orleans back in the late eighteen to early nineteen hundreds. After the closure of Storyville, the so called embarrassment was almost wiped from history. Bellocq’s photos, a couple of rundown buildings, and very few tales about Storyville are left today. Natasha Trethewey gave these forgotten women a voice in her collection of poems Bellocq’s Ophelia. She granted her readers a gaze into a forbidden world in a time that is long
Ever since my sister attended Troy University and told me about all the superior activities Troy has to offer, I have wanted to attend this college. Troy has an outstanding nursing program, and that is the career field I plan on going into prior graduation. I have always wanted to specialize in neonatal nursing with sick babies. Troy also has some awesome sororities at their school I am interested in being a part of. Alpha Gamma Delta is the sorority I am most interested in. They strive to achieve academic excellence and they help out their school as much as they can. Lastly, Troy has a very beautiful, clean, and safe campus. Feeling safe while walking around your college is a very important factor to me.
