A living archive honoring LS through the photographs he left behind—family, friends, streets and ordinary moments rendered with an artist’s eye.
Half of print-sale proceeds are donated to the American Heart Association.
Born in 1956 in Birmingham, Alabama and raised in the vibrant cultural landscape of Chicago, LS grew up surrounded by the energy, rhythm and complexity that later shaped his artistic eye. Though he was not formally trained as a photographer, the environments that nurtured him sparked a quiet but powerful creative instinct.
Photography may not have been his profession, but it was undeniably his calling. Most of his images centered on family, friends and the people who filled his daily life. His work reveals a natural storyteller who found poetry in ordinary moments and dignity in everyday people.
LS’s passing in 2020 marked the end of his physical journey but not the end of his voice. A box of slides, prints and digital pieces was entrusted to the next generation, offering a window into an artist who photographed with intention, patience and heart.
This project exists to ensure that LS’s legacy continues to live, grow and inspire. By sharing the work publicly, his vision reaches people who may never have had the chance to meet him but can still feel his presence through the images.
