About.

The South’s past, present and future live within the region’s storytelling tradition. I’m fortunate to carry on in that tradition.

I want my children and children’s children to be able to look at my pictures and know what my world was like. Even if it only helps a little bit toward this understanding, then I’ve done my job and done it well.
— Gordon Parks

My Approach

My approach to Southern storytelling is centered around places and culture.

Visual.

Using standalone photographs and photo essays to tell stories about places and culture bearers in America’s South.

Written.

Using written narratives and data visualizations to tell stories about the South’s history, development over time and one of it’s most rich pieces of culture: college football.
