Photographs

David Wharton has been photographing the rural South since he came to teach at the Center in 1999. Starting in 2008, the Center will be offering some of his landscape work for sale. Proceeds will benefit the Gammill Gallery and the Center’s Docu-mentary Studies program. All of the images are black-and-white and will be available in various sizes (see order form). They are digital prints, made from high-resolution scans of the original medium format (2¼" x 3¼") negatives and printed with Epson’s pigment-based (three-level black) UltraChrome K3™ Ink technology.

There are currently 12 of Wharton’s photographs available. Click on the photograph title to see the image. To order, download an order form and fax to us at 662-915-5814 or call us at 662-915-5993. We accept Visa, MasterCard, and personal checks. Questions? Please contact us.
