For as nervous as you felt, the interview came off extremely well. Clayton sound like one hell of a neat guy. I was pleasantly surpised, often people who are talented in the arts aren’t that skilled at expressing themselves verbally or in writing. Clayton seems very adept in all of these communication tools. Great interview.
Just when I didn’t think you could do any better then you always do I end up sitting in a parking lot after eating my lunch listening to this interview. I honestly had to stop and listen the whole way through so as to not miss a word.
I checked out this project when you first mentioned it, but have not been following it as closely as I need to.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention and for such a powerful interview.
Thanks BB and CC,
I’m glad you think it came off well. A lot of interviewing has to do with selecting the people to talk to, and Clayton is smart and well spoken. This was important to me as his work is very meaningful, and I just wanted to do right by him.
[...] Extra! Dave Slusher, of EvilGeniusChronicles, interviews Clayton Cubitt in his podcast for Nov 4. Go there. Listen. And, if you’re so inclined, Subscribe. [...]
EG,
Thanks so much for the interview with Clayton Cubitt. I’m a former New Orleanian, and have been following Operation Eden since a few days after Katrina.
One thing (of many) that jumped out at me: your comment on the post, “THe Surreal Life: East of Eden”. It is, as you noted, some of the most moving writing I’ve ever read.
“This is the picture that shows the moment when two American families came together. It shows the hum of the internet made tangible. The ether made solid. Touchable.” Indeed.
“Brownie, you’re doing a heckofa job…”
[...] Now the Evil Genius Chronicles talk to Clayton in this podcast. I urge you to take a half hour out, read the blog, then put this file on your mp3 player or hard drive and have a listen. The guy talks sense. And it ends with a wicked bit of Cajun tunage. Filed in: katrina operationeden photography podcast [...]
[...] Both Dave Slusher from Evil Genius Chronicles and I pointed to the remarkable photos and story of Clayton James Cubitt and his family’s Katrina experience. Dave interviewed him as well. He moved from his Louisiana home to New York City to pursue his career. His return to Louisana to help his family produced remarable photos and put a human face on just one of the many thousands of struggles that continue in the Gulf region. Now word comes that because the trailer he bought his Mom is in his name and his residence is New York, FEMA isn’t going to pony up any relief money. I know this isn’t the only story like this (With 18 of 40 billion out and the agency saying there isn’t anymore), but I pass it on because the man’s art touches me and we all need to remember that it isn’t back to normal there yet, if ever. The same can be said for the Tsunami areas… [...]
