Introduction
(continued)
This
series of photographs focuses specifically on the Southern
cultural landscape and touches upon several themes
traditionally recognized as Southern.
These include the ever-presence and importance of the
past in Southern culture; the direct, personal relationship
many Southerners have with their physical surroundings; and
the omnipresence of religious consciousness in the South.
All of these find frequent expression, intentional or
otherwise, in the physical environment Southerners have
created for themselves to live in.
I hope viewers will find this evident in the selection
of images that follows. Comments
are welcome; please direct them to dwharton@olemiss.edu.
Thanks,
