You can often spot Kenn Jolemore, musician and photographer, stalking the streets of Lafayette-Winona neighborhoods, tripod over his shoulder and gaze aimed upward for bird life.

 "My main interest is the condition of the wildlife, waterways and wetlands of the Tidewater area," he says. "By photographing the birds and mammals along the rivers and keeping track of who is doing well and who is not, I feel I am contributing to the overall knowledge of the health of our waterways."

Jolemore describes himself as a "long time married musician and photographer living in Norfolk, Virginia with three grown children and four grandkids, all living locally. My wife, Nancy, is a professor at Tidewater Community College, Norfolk Campus, where she teaches writing."
