Clarence John Laughlin
A biography of a New Orleans photographer of worldwide acclaim
Haunter of Ruins
Called "Edgar Allan Poe with a camera", Clarence John Laughlin (1905-1984) reveals New Orleans at its most brooding and mysterious in 69 never-before-published images. Compiled by the Historic New Orleans Collection, this volume brings together an eerie gallery of French Quarter facades, funerary sculpture, and other details that summon up the Acadian gothic described by six distinguished writers. 69 illustrations.
History of the LAFLIN Family from Suffolk
The LAFLIN family have been found in Suffolk since the mid sixteenth century until the present day. This book represents the current state of my research into their history and takes it from around 1500 (the earliest reference yet found is 1524) to the 1901 census. Throughout the discussion, I have tried to indicate my sources so that readers may check the information and form their own opinions. This book was first printed in 2007. I had hoped to produce an updated version including information from the 1911 census, but other demands on my time have made this impossible so far. Until such a book is possible, I have decided to make this 2007 version publicly available.
Archaeology and the Bible
This book challenges readers to consider whether archaeology explains the Bible. Archaeology and the Bible examines new developments in archaeological finds in the Near East, particularly Palestine, that are related to the Bible. New methodologies, regional surveys and creative syntheses have all had an impact on traditional approaches to looking at these discoveries. John Laughlin examines these new developments and discusses what they imply for biblical studies.
Clarence John Laughlin
This volume provides a much-needed reassessment of the life and work of Clarence John Laughlin (1905-1985). Born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, Laughlin lived most of his life in New Orleans, He discovered the literature of Baudelaire and the French Symbolists in the mid-1920s and began writing poetry and Gothic fiction at that time. In 1934, influenced by the work of Stieglitz, Strand, Weston, Man Ray, and Atget, Laughlin took up photography. Devoted to the documentation of historic buildings and artifacts, Laughlin was at the same time committed to a highly personal application of photography to evoke the underlying mystery of the world. He used multiple exposures, theatrical arrangements, and lengthy captions to bridge the gap between the visible world and an allusive, metaphorical realm of intuition and fantasy. Laughlin's work seems particularly relevant today. The last decade of American photography has been characterized by an artistic focus on issues of theatricality, the tension between photographic truth and invention, and the linkage between world and pictures.
