"Rolling Fork" by Jack Spencer

Fellow Mississippian Jack Spencer has spent the better part of the past five decades photographing his native soil - from the Southern United States to Mexico to the American West and everywhere in between. With each collection, Jack's lens finds new ways of looking at people, landscapes, and objects. I am proud to call Jack a dear friend. This photograph was taken in Rolling Fork, Mississippi, not far from where I grew up. I love its timelessness, and now that a recent tornado destroyed the town of Rolling Fork, the image is more haunting than ever.
