Don M. Green
I make photographs and virtual spaces that hold moments steady: protests, concerts, small mercies. My work is archival and intimate — documentary practice turned into exhibitions, prints, and VR encounters.

The Challenge
Rooted in Baton Rouge, I document the music, the marches, and the nights that stitch community together. Each photograph is witness; each VR space is a deliberate archive that invites you to linger. I work with prints, commissions, and immersive installations that honor history while making room for feeling. For collectors, collaborators, and curious viewers — this is how memory becomes public.
