He is, obviously, is a big influence here in New Orleans. I know quite a few photographers just a few years older than me who actually knew him and attended his salons. Check out a very good bio by A.J. Meek, a photographer himself (8x20) who started the photo program at LSU:

The New Orleans Photo Alliance has a grant named in honor of Laughlin:

And, lastly, David Armentor and I, under the auspices of St. Veronicas Photography, have created a portfolio of Laughlin objects that we will be selling in order to help Longue Vue House and Gardens raise the necessary funds to get the darkroom that Laughlin used back into service:

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to make it to Atlanta to see the exhibition.
