Close to the Bayou is a journey of artmaking in the face of death and explores what is passed on through that process.

When artist Dimitri Staszewski found out that his close friend and artistic mentor, renowned contemporary jewelry artist Thomas Mann was diagnosed with cancer, Staszewski made the decision to support Mann through that process. During Mann’s three-month treatment, he continued making work at a frenetic pace while Staszewski started documenting the physical and emotional space they were sharing.

The resulting book, Close to the Bayou is a visual memoir of a unique, creative, and singular person—Thomas Mann. Simultaneously, it is a book about Staszewski and a thoughtful meditation on illness, uncertainty, mentorship, and how the physical self and geographies hold us and anchor our memories.

 A year into the project, as Staszewski prepared to finish the book, life mirrored itself as he was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 29. As his own medical journey began, the work he had created suddenly took on new meaning. The question the book asks, “What does it mean to be close to the bayou?” was suddenly something he was forced to ask himself.

Dimitri Staszewski is a documentary photography and photojournalist interested in both lyrical and more literal expressions of the photographic medium. Bookmaking is central to his practice.

Not stiff or tight…

My niece loved them. So many of the slips in shoes are too stiff and tight, this one was easy on, not stiff or tight, just perfect!

Narrow
Size: 11.5 Little Kid, Color: Lavender
These were so cute, but run narrow. My daughter tried wearing them but she kept complaining they were too tight. Wish we could love them because I love how easy this brand is for my daughter to get on her feet
