Introduction


Since coming to Mississippi in 1999, I've worked on several different photographic projects.  Some involve people interacting in public places.  Others explore some of the more personal aspects of Mississippians' lives: relationships with friends, family activities, and the central importance of religion for many of the state's residents.  The pictures on this site, however, are from a different kind of project - a series of "cultural landscape" photographs that presents selected scenes from the environment of the American South as created by the people who live there.
