<p class="style1"><span class="style27">"One of my most memorable photo assignments
was for People Magazine in 1991,when I approached them with the idea of
doing a piece on the Neville Brothers, who had just put together an album
called Yellow Moon. </span></p>
<p class="style1"><span class="style27">A week later I was standing on the
porch of a shotgun house on Valence Street. Aaron drove me back to my hotel
and sang acapella in his car. New Orleans was calling. There was no way
back."</span></p>
