Thanks James! Marie is one of the first African American authors in the town. She co authored a book “Coming Out of the Dark Into the Light” about what it was like growing up and going to school during segregation.
I love that lens, I no longer have that camera though. I sold it and got two Chamonix wooden folding (4x5 and 8x10) cameras with the money.
Thanks Tina!
Thank you. From Marie's perspective; I wonder if today feels a bit like Deja vu? You have a treasure trove of seasoned faces to record, and access. Lucky you! Are you familiar with Dorothea Lange and Edward Curtis?

Thanks James. Yes she definitely is not happy with how are things are right now. I'm familiar with Dorothea Lange, her work is so incredible. I thought about contacting Marie and following up some of the people in her book and photographing them as well and making a mini project out of it.
