During the 70's , as a black freelance photographer from south nashville, I had the opportunity to photograph 📸 3 of Tennessee's most noted authors and have a snap published in Nashville author John Egerton's book Nashville the Face of Two Centuries ...

Alex Haley, Roots author, Shelby Foote, Civil War Historian, Rev. Will Campbell author of Brother to a Dragon Fly are the authors ...

In 1977 the State of Tennessee put on a 🍾 celebration in recognition of Alex Haley's success with the Roots project for one week that I don't think to date has ever been repeated ...

Shelby Foote, Civil War Historian lived in Memphis and was not expecting a black photographer from south nashville who spoke French, shooting for French magazine L'Express, we spent about 4 hours going back and forth in English and French between shots ...

Rev. Will Campbell, I met through Rev. Bill Barnes and a few years later, I received an assignment to photograph 📸 Will at his Mt. Juliet home where I snapped him chilling 😎 in a hammock and whittling next to his father ...

When you travel the back roads down south far from the expressway/interstate , mind and eyes 👀 wide open , and woke 😳, you might see symbols of southern life and attitudes during this epoch ...
