Finding Place & Artistic Legacy: Parker Stewart's Savannah Exhibition Alongside Jack Leigh

Host Dee Daniels sits down at Savannah’s Ethan Allen showroom with photographer and printer Parker Stewart, [https://www.parkerstewartphotography.com/] a North Carolina native based in Savannah, ahead of the May 7 opening reception for “Jack Leigh and Parker Stewart: In Place” at Laney Contemporary (May 1–Aug 1). [https://www.laneycontemporary.com/exhibitions/jackleighparkerstewart]   Stewart discusses Jack Leigh’s Savannah legacy, including the commissioned “Bird Girl” cover for Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, and explains how Leigh’s long-term documentation of the Lowcountry influences his own “photographing place” approach. Stewart shares his path from SCAD to running a Savannah printing studio, printing for major exhibitions and the Jack Leigh Estate since 2018, including the detailed proofing and matching process from film negatives.   They preview the two-floor, interwoven curation, highlight serendipitous paired images, and Stewart offers advice to keep making work and engage Savannah’s creative community.   THANK YOU TO OUR SEASON 6 SPONSOR: ETHAN ALLEN SAVANNAH [https://www.ethanallen.com/en_US/store-details?StoreID=554]   LEARN MORE WITH THESE LINKS: Jack Leigh & Parker Stewart: In Place [https://www.laneycontemporary.com/exhibitions/jackleighparkerstewart] PROUDLY PRODUCED BY DEE DANIELS MEDIA [https://www.deedanielsmedia.com/]   HUGE THANKS to our PARTNER this season - Ethan Allen Savannah.

FAN FAVORITE: History and Ghost Tour Guide Enocha Edenfield Walks Through Savannah Cemeteries

Welcome to a FAN FAVORITE EPISODE on the Made of Savannah podcast, host Dee Daniels sits down with Enocha Edenfield - a former NBC Savannah broadcast journalist who moved to Savannah in 2010 and began researching the origins of local ghost stories during the pandemic, which grew into a busy private tour business focused on accuracy and archival sources.   The episode explores Savannah’s cemeteries, noting about 80 in Chatham County and six city-owned sites (Colonial Park, Laurel Grove North and South, Bonaventure, Greenwich, and Evergreen), and explains why preservation matters, using Colonial Park’s long neglect and an estimated 7,000–9,000 graves as a cautionary example. Ika shares stories and landmarks from Bonaventure (Little Gracie, John Walz, Conrad Aiken, the Bird Girl relocation, and Johnny Mercer), discusses Greenwich’s plantation past and Midnight-related graves, clarifies hoodoo vs. voodoo, and outlines Laurel Grove’s segregated origins and notable sections.   THANK YOU TO OUR SEASON 6 SPONSOR: ETHAN ALLEN SAVANNAH [https://www.ethanallen.com/en_US/store-details?StoreID=554]   LEARN MORE WITH THESE LINKS: VISIT ENOCHA EDENFIELD TOURS [https://enochaedenfieldtours.com/] PROUDLY PRODUCED BY DEE DANIELS MEDIA [https://www.deedanielsmedia.com/]   HUGE THANKS to our PARTNER this season - Ethan Allen Savannah.
