A native Hoosier, Joseph Woodson "Pops" Whitesell was part of a New Orleans group of bohemian writers and artists living and working in the French Quarter in the 1930's and 1940's where he photographed the artists, writers and photographers who were attracted to the historic area. He began teaching himself how to take photographs at age 17. He came to New Orleans as a professional photographer shortly after the first World War in 1918.
