Rice field, near DeWitt Arkansas. -

The alluvial plain south of Memphis on either side of the Mississippi River, in Mississippi and Arkansas is a cruel and brutal landscape of flat dusty cotton fields, blackwater bayous and heartbreaking poverty; a land with a mystique of mythical proportions. The Delta was the birthplace of the Blues, Tennessee Williams, Eudora Welty, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Al Green, Levon Helm and Muddy Waters. History shows everywhere one looks and at times it seems as if history has ended here.

This is where I was born and raised, and although I left home more than 40 years ago, I have often been drawn back to re-discover it in pictures.

The pictures were made using an antique 8 x 10 camera and lens. A selection of 16 x 20 archival pigment prints are available in a boxed edition of twenty copies or as individual prints. Selected prints are also available as gelatin silver contact prints.
