On this episode of The Life of Phys Podcast, I sit down with Larry Everage, a New Orleans based photographer whose work is deeply rooted in the city’s culture, history, and community.

Influenced by a family of avid photographers, Larry has carried forward the tradition of visual storytelling, using his lens to honor both New Orleans’ heritage and its vibrant present. His photographs reflect resilience, identity, and a love for the place he has always called home.

Larry has been recognized with both a NOLA Millennial Award and the Dillard University 40 Under 40 Award for his impact and contributions to the arts. In 2024, two of his images were selected for the acclaimed “Seeing Black” exhibit and book, and his photography is also included in the permanent collection at the New Orleans African American Museum.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How family and heritage shaped Larry’s path into photography

• The influence of New Orleans culture and community on his work

• His recognition through the NOLA Millennial Award and Dillard 40 Under 40

• The significance of “Seeing Black” and inclusion in the New Orleans African American Museum

On this episode of The Life of Phys Podcast, I’m joined by John Hendrick, a New York City native now based in San Antonio, whose journey from combat medic to photographer is as powerful as the images he creates.

After years in the military, John turned to photography as a way to process trauma, reflect on his experiences, and ultimately find peace. His work is raw and authentic, capturing the resilience, beauty, and complexity of life. Every photo is a reflection of his transformation, showing how art can bring order to chaos and healing through creativity.

As John puts it: “Chaos to Clarity is not just a title , it’s a story of transformation.”

In this episode, we explore:

• John’s transition from combat medic to photographer

• How art and photography can support healing and mental health

• The themes of resilience and beauty in his work

On this episode of The Life of Phys Podcast, I welcome back my close friend Ansley Stewart, a Houston, Texas–based photographer whose work captures the beauty of forgotten places and the stories they hold.

Ansley is drawn to lonely landscapes, seeking out sights fighting the battle against time. From the moment he first stood on a cliff overlooking a river valley, his perspective shifted, reminding him of the power of photography to change how we see the world.

Recently, Ansley discovered a box of Kodachrome slides at an estate sale and began the painstaking process of digitizing and researching the collection. Using his Leica M11 with an adapted macro lens, he and his wife have uncovered remarkable moments in history:

• A Texas woman honored in the Texas Women’s Hall of Fame

• Family outings and community life across decades

• Baylor University basketball and the Final Four at Madison Square Garden (1948/49)

• Rare images of a half-built Baylor football stadium against Texas A&M

• Even unsettling moments connected to the serial killer Dean Corll

  
  

Ansley’s passion for this project is clear, his goal is to preserve history and return the collection to the family it belongs to, ensuring these memories live on.

In this episode, we explore:

• Ansley’s philosophy of capturing lonely, timeless places

• The discovery and digitization of the Kodachrome slide collection

• The process of researching hidden stories through photography

• Why preserving family and community history is so important

  
  

This is a moving conversation about photography, history, and legacy, and the power of images to connect generations.
