He was standing on the steps of the historic Tabernacle Baptist Church, on Broad Street. I approached him, and said hello. He noticed my cameras, and my photojournalist vest, which didn’t deter him from responding to my greeting. We struck up a conversation. He told me that he had come up from Florida the day before, taking the night bus. He arrived in Selma that morning, well before daybreak, only to find that all of the motels were full. He spent the remainder of the night in the bus station. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708569093257-24DSDPPQ0FUSHUZMCGO4/DF11133-56235-v.02-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery My awareness was guided to this preacher who stopped at the end of the Edmund Pettus Bridge, after making his pilgrimage walk across, and back again. It wasn’t just the awareness of him standing there. It was the acute awareness of his posture, and the way he held his hands clasped together, combined with the emotion of his gaze that was directed into town less than fifty yards away from where he stood. I had a strong sense that he had been here, fifty years ago, as a much younger man. But to approach him, to engage him in conversation, would have been an invasion, so I made the photograph and moved on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708568603874-XJ0B5EAQUJOPO2W91PGA/DF11133-56250-FINAL.jpg America Found/The Gallery I noticed this young African-American boy, dressed in a suit, and tie, emerging from the bridge. This awareness afforded me the time to watch, and study the scene as it unfolded, so that I could position myself in the best possible way to capture the story that wanted to be told. He walked with, what I presumed to be, family members: mother, father, and older brother perhaps. As I dropped to one knee and raised the camera to my face, they were well aware of my presence, as well as my intention to make a photograph of them. As the grew closer, and were very near to passing by, the young boy grabbed his necktie with one hand and I released the shutter. For me it is a quintessential image of what the day represented. The gray clouds thatThe had begun to break in the sky above the bridge.

I was looking for a place to have lunch on my way out of the Delta. A local suggested The Hollywood, saying that they had the best burgers around, and then gave me directions. As I pulled off of Old Highway 61, turning right onto Old Commerce Road, I turned left into the nearly empty parking lot, went inside, and chose a table near the back. In the corner, near the entrance door, was an old piano. On the walls were memorabilia photographs, including one of a black woman playing a piano that look quite like the one near he entrance. There were also several posters of the singer/songwriter, Marc Cohen, hanging on the brick walls. I was baffled by th s, so when the waitress came to take my order, I inquired. She said that this is the place that Marc Cohen wrote about in his hit song: “Walking In Memphis”. This is where he came to play piano with Muriel - who was the woman in the photograph I mentioned. “Muriel plays piano, every Friday at The Hollywood. And they brought me down to see her, and asked me if I would Do a little number and I sang with all my might. She said, tell me are you a Christian child, and I said Maam I am tonight!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708229719285-WHHO0MCYZDKV21BQH6YI/DF11147-180-bw.jpg America Found/The Gallery - Interior of The Hollywood (Copy) Interior of The Hollywood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708041577488-JBK0C5BZ1ZVAL6O3S8JE/DF11147-459.jpg America Found/The Gallery - Painted Facade/Indianola, Mississippi (Copy) Painted Facade/Indianola, Mississippi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708044129534-T6AJ24CP972HKVBUTHIP/DF11147-254-bw.jpg America Found/The Gallery - Deke Harp (Copy) Deke Harp https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708044241018-Y8FJJ8BO64Z0FWO99VK7/DF11147-457-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery - Henry Gip Gipson (Copy) Henry Gip Gipson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708044511830-0KVQG5JJ01R5P6DQY2SI/DF11147-392-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery - Nickson's Juke Joint / Tunica, Mississippi (Copy) Nickson's Juke Joint / Tunica, Mississippi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708457679787-37XZX0CU8LWT82CWQA5N/DF_11147-104506-Edit_v2.jpg America Found/The Gallery A rustic wooden building with signs and posters, next to a gravel lot with vehicles and a playground, trees and a clear sky in the background at sunset. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708458588831-G12K207I1KZDIYO99JFS/DF11162-634786-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery A collection of signs on a wooden wall advertising a bar named Poor Monkey Lounge with a DJ and karaoke night, a sign with a monkey face, a sign reading Leslie's Big 40, and various notices including a caution sign, a no drugs or loud music sign, and an advertisement for beer, all in black and white. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708458085138-KQZ9LBPJ3XWN38IJ2AJM/DF_11147-104547-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery Small wooden food stand with signs for wings, rib tips, and catfish, lit by a single light at dusk, with utility poles and wires in the background. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1710289172439-MMBMJ4A599Z056JK8P9H/DF11174-909286-bw.jpg America Found/The Gallery I had heard of "quilting circles" but had never witnessed one until now.

But crawfishing isn't merely about the catch—it's a way of life. It's about community, family, and a connection to the land. As the season wanes, the flooded fields, once teeming with crustaceans, transform into fertile grounds for another Cajun staple: rice. It's a seamless transition, a cycle of sustenance and tradition that embodies the resilience and resourcefulness of Cajun culture. Beyond its practical significance, crawfishing encapsulates the spirit of Louisiana—a blend of resilience, ingenuity, and a deep reverence for the land. It's a tradition that transcends time, weaving itself into the very identity of Cajun communities and serving as a testament to their enduring heritage. In every trap pulled from the waters, there lies a story—a story of resilience, of connection, and of the unwavering spirit that defines Cajun culture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708047135836-C95T67V6W0YFKS50POR3/DF11169-624597-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery - Checking the Crawfish Traps at Sunrise (Copy) Checking the Crawfish Traps at Sunrise Crawfishing begins early in the morning, just as the sun rises above the horizon.

There are thick pneumatic cables, as well as electrical cables everywhere, and heavy machinery in constant motion, with giant cutting blades that strip the coal from the seam walls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1710270729413-D5138PKOPX5V1B62IJ2K/DF11107_-50912.jpg America Found/The Gallery A young woman in black clothing blowing glass, holding a long tube with molten glass at the tip, in a glassblowing studio.

Every morning Ray, along with a few other regulars, arrives at the cafe - generally sitting at the same tables and booths, to discuss the current events of the days. At on point I overhear Ray mentioning that he raises chickens. Several minutes later, when here was a break in the conversations, I asked him how many chickens he had. “24,000”, he responded in a matter-of-fact way. I was shocked! I had thought maybe a few dozen. As we continued the discussion he filled me in on he commercial ins and outs of raising chickens - including how to govern the specific size of he fully grown chicken. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708401839992-FK889SNX997080C7ZBSG/253436976.jpg America Found/The Gallery Two women standing at a crosswalk in a city, one holding a shopping bag with 'American Girl' written on it.

I found an irony with this sign in the middle of nowhere. The open desolation of a snow-covered landscape broken by a sign offering the weary traveler a shot of caffeine. Sadly, after driving for miles in all directions, tehre was no coffee house to be found. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1710851948230-1PGT5Z26DUM5GSIJRUY5/DF11015-127-working.jpg America Found/The Gallery A man dressed in Elvis Presley costume singing into a microphone outdoors at a sidewalk setup outside a restaurant or cafe.

On the opposite side of the boardwalk was a pizza shop. Atop the pizza shop backed by the sky, was a statue of a short, chubby, Italian looking man wearing a white Baker’s jacket and hat. His arms raised and stretched outward as if he were a representation of God welcoming His son home. Just beneath this statue standing on the boardwalk was a young chubby boy wearing a bright red shirt, who had just emerged from the front doors of the pizza shop. A boxed pizza in his left hand and an ice cream cone in his right. He just stood there facing the man with the cross coming as if anticipating the coming crucifixion. From the left of the frame emerged a couple walking past the man with a cross, seemingly not paying attention at all. Coming from the other direction were a single horizontal line of teenage girls who also seemed oblivious to the man with a cross. Could all of these elements - not just the man with a cross, be some sort of modern representation of the scene that unfolded more than 2,000 years ago? It can be read in scripture that Jesus was paraded through the streets carrying his heavy cross, and at times stumbling, and if memory serves me, even falling. Scripture tells us that the people who lined the sidewalks jeered at Jesus, spat upon him, and more. But I don’t remember reading what the people did after Jesus passed by. Did they join the procession to Calvary, to did they return to the daily lives? On Calvary itself did hordes of people gather or was it just another crucifixion? We know from history that crucifixions during this time of the Roman occupation were quite common. Did people bring refreshments to the crucifixion? I am reminded of the horrific stories of our recent history in the United States, during the time of racial segregation where blacks were routinely hung from the branches of trees and people gathered with picnic baskets and cameras. Could this have been a similar situation during the crucifixion of Jesus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708439148381-NR64IKVHK805ZJ7TOG0D/DRF11272-10724_comp_v1-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery A young woman standing on grass at a protest, holding a sign that says 'We deserve better' with smaller text encouraging people to use their voice and vote, in front of a large government building with columns and a cloudy sky. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708439080458-QVT6ZEM50U86UN5PPECF/DRF11272-10887-Edit-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery A crowd of protesters marching in a demonstration, holding signs with messages about gun violence.

I met Ed while visiting Old Tent City, in Nashville, Tennessee. He came to Nashville several months ago to help his brother who was living on the streets. Eventually Ed went through the entirety of his savings, ending up on the streets himself. The day before I met him he had received word that he had been approved for an apartment. As he attempted to leave the camp he realized that two of the tires on his old Honda were flat. A man from one of the churches got word of this and took them off to be replaced. The following day, attempting to leave again, he found that the transmission was stuck in Park - which took a few days to get fixed. During that time Ed was attacked with a metal pipe - a common occurrence among those living on the streets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1727221778492-8SDKZB1EQGFD9UHRW555/DRF11380-129-Edit.jpg The Unhoused https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1727124693741-50YFGZY6OIX7HZGQGQZK/DRF11380-69-Edit.jpg The Unhoused This is Michael, who was one of two people to build solid structures in Nashville’s Old Tent City, which was torn down by the State in 2024. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1727221757780-J2V348TW9ADZU8VWEERW/DRF11380-183.jpg The Unhoused One of the ironies is that a few months before the State, and the City decided to demolish Michael’s house, in Old Tent City, he received an address from the City of Nashville. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1727124689172-KYC25CVU3XA9XEBFRRUF/DRF11380-175.jpg The Unhoused - The back section of Old Tent City (Copy) The back section of Old Tent City Under this overpass is a section of Old Tent City, in Nashville, Tennessee.

The significance of this sign, (photographed on September 15, 2024) is that it is touting the 2020 Presidential race between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, four years after the fact. It was this Presidential race that Donald Trump continued to deny Joe Biden’s win. It was also the denial of the results, in this Presidential race, that led to the insurrection on January 6, 2021 of the United States Capitol Building. During the recent presidential debate, between Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, Donald Trump (when asked directly) still refused to acknowledge his loss in 2020. In the more recent Vice Presidential Debate, between Senator Vance and Governor Walz, when asked directly if he believed that Donald Trump lost the election in 2020, J.D. Vance side-stepped the question and refused to answer it. I was not able to find the person who erected this sign, so that I could ask them if they too were still claiming that the 2020 Presidential election was won by Donald Trump; but to see it displayed during the height of the 2024 campaign, with former President Donald Trump running again, I had to wonder. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1730924431297-5EEQOA2DMTECU2IZXLT5/DRF11374-288-bw.jpg In Search of America Phase Two_Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1725321837538-24SY10TKLVNKMD8Y6O7W/DRF11374-95.jpg In Search of America Phase Two_Gallery - Caney Spring United Methodist Church along Highway 99 in Chapel Hill, Tennessee.

Yet, more and more, I see a continuing emptiness of the family within our society. This empty picture frame spoke volumes to me; situated prominently on the end table near the living room sofa - yet the frame contained no photograph.. only the words. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1728324229974-8UL4D0OR8VBQ7T2K1PQL/_DRF4361-bw.jpg In Search of America Phase Two_Gallery Two days every week, William sets up his stand along State Highway 96 on the outskirts of Franklin, Tennessee. It features two items you wouldn’t typically associate with one another—honey and ammunition. I was drawn in by this curious pairing. William talked for nearly half an hour. "I’m retired law enforcement," he shared, mentioning also that his grandmother was a Hatfield - from the notorious Hatfield and McCoy feud. The idea for this stand came to him on a “hunt” in Waco, Texas with Ted Nugent. "On one side of the street," he explained, "vendors were selling crafts, soaps, honey, and the like. On the other side of the street, it was all guns and ammo." “I’ve had plenty of offers to buy guns; but I have no way of knowing the history that that gun: was it stolen? Was it used in a crime? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1730083676006-9FSZFKDEK0AXT1RFANDT/_DRF4972-bw.jpg In Search of America Phase Two_Gallery This is not a judgement in any way, but rather an astute observation of our society. It seems that over the past decade there has been an escalation in the promotion of guns and ammunition; but this escalation has increased significantly over the past 12 months - at least here in the south where I am able to bear witness to it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1730083698106-ZLBZIO3ENCTWAGHYK6NL/_DRF4946-bw.jpg In Search of America Phase Two_Gallery Over the past few months, especially since Kamala Harris declared her run for the Presidency of the United States, there has been an escalation in ‘products’ being sold by former President, and current Presidential candidate, Donald Trump. While driving along Interstate 24 I saw this billboard advertising a store devoted to all of his political items. This seemed quite relevant for this project because it is the first time - in my long lifetime, that I have seen such marketing for someone seeking the highest office of this country; and because of this I believe that this image will hold a significance for future generations to observe when looking back on this period of this Nation’s history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1730085634091-94IMWGH8OLX5PI6HYT1A/_DRF4926-bw.jpg In Search of America Phase Two_Gallery This billboard overlooks Interstate 24 as it passes through Monteagle, Tennessee. There is great significance to the content of this billboard, in that it has been a predominant rally cry for Presidential candidate Donald Trump, as well as his supporters. It is also of great significance because it blatantly reinforces a messages that is based on proven lies - deeming these statements as completely false. Each election cycle - regardless of the office, has aways had its misrepresentations of the true facts, but this election cycle has been frocked with literally hundreds of statements that have been proven - time and time again, to be completely void of any factual truths. It seems that as a society this has become “the acceptable norm”. It is chalked up by many supporters as “entertainment”. According to the CATO Institute, in a report dated November 2, 2023, “In absolute terms, the Biden DHS is removing 3.5 times as many people per month as the Trump DHS did. These figures are important for understanding how each administration has carried out border enforcement.” “Under Biden, DHS made over 5 million arrests in its first 26.3 months, and it removed nearly 2.6 million—51 percent—while releasing only 49 percent. In other words, the Trump DHS removed a minority of those arrested while the Biden DHS removed a majority. Biden managed to increase the removal share while also increasing the total removals by a factor of 3.5.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1730084703822-UKSIQ0TKX7XDEDMN7WTF/_DRF4934.jpg In Search of America Phase Two_Gallery - Highlander Folk School / 1932 - 1962 (Copy) Highlander Folk School / 1932 - 1962 This nondescript building, located near Monteagle, Tennessee, was - for 30 years, was one of the few schools “committed to the cause of organized labor, economic justice. and an end to racial segregation.” “Courses included labor issues, literacy, leadership, and non-violent desegregation strategies, with workshops led by Septima Clark.” The Reverend Martin Luther King, and Elenor Roosevelt found inspiration in this school.

This influence has reached a crescendo during the most recent Presidential Race here in the United States. In recent months there has been another crescendo brewing; that of the non Christian Right fighting to reclaim Christianity , and return it to its original foundation: the teachings of Jesus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1754337063720-L1WE47VXWQW9Z9AXQ2N8/image-asset.jpeg In Search of America Phase Two_Gallery - Kidney Needed (Copy) Kidney Needed Recently there had become a shortage of kidneys.

honor of the momentous day of celebration and homage, wearing a beige trench coat and an ascot cap. He was standing on the steps of the historic Tabernacle Baptist Church, on Broad Street. I approached him, and said hello. He noticed my cameras, and my photojournalist vest, which didn’t deter him from responding to my greeting. We struck up a conversation. He told me that he had come up from Florida the day before, taking the night bus. He arrived in Selma that morning, well before daybreak, only to find that all of the motels were full. He spent the remainder of the night in the bus station. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708569093257-24DSDPPQ0FUSHUZMCGO4/DF11133-56235-v.02-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) My awareness was guided to this preacher who stopped at the end of the Edmund Pettus Bridge, after making his pilgrimage walk across, and back again. It wasn’t just the awareness of him standing there. It was the acute awareness of his posture, and the way he held his hands clasped together, combined with the emotion of his gaze that was directed into town less than fifty yards away from where he stood. I had a strong sense that he had been here, fifty years ago, as a much younger man. But to approach him, to engage him in conversation, would have been an invasion, so I made the photograph and moved on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708568603874-XJ0B5EAQUJOPO2W91PGA/DF11133-56250-FINAL.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) I noticed this young African-American boy, dressed in a suit, and tie, emerging from the bridge. This awareness afforded me the time to watch, and study the scene as it unfolded, so that I could position myself in the best possible way to capture the story that wanted to be told. He walked with, what I presumed to be, family members: mother, father, and older brother perhaps. As I dropped to one knee and raised the camera to my face, they were well aware of my presence, as well as my intention to make a photograph of them. As the grew closer, and were very near to passing by, the young boy grabbed his necktie with one hand and I released the shutter. For me it is a quintessential image of what the day represented. The gray clouds thatThe had begun to break in the sky above the bridge. This young black boy, walking ahead of his family members as if leading the way into his future, and out of the tragedies, violence, and hatred of the past. He symbolized hope for us all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708568610918-2KDLN6MT9AJU8T74S12O/DF11133-56297-Edit-Edit-Edit-2.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708568611111-7EF66CVNBK1E4RZ4ESJ9/DF11133-56485_bw-Edit-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708568686735-G1O479M2KIHNOEC81OE7/DF11133-56529-bw-Edit-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708568694997-8JM9SZD3R0JN4KC45OMT/DF11133-56858-bw-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708568740349-55A7BJW0T2SMZELY9QGO/DF11133-56928-bw-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708568739943-PT2GYTDPFVCI5IDB9BP5/DF11133-56936-Edit-2.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708568703725-G8S32LUY2SUYOWTI11KK/DF11133-56895_bw-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708568703604-BKQOZMJ2FM1BHQLHVQ0X/DF11133-56864-bw-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708568687021-X8XB61U2NLN9CX652FEM/DF11133-56796_bw-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708568695148-VFVXAKHKD9BYT5OJ7CS1/DF11133-56844_bw.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708573035173-71DJNT71WGIPMK926O92/DF11128_-54619-Edit-4_v2.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708573775955-7XMVNHQ0H4QJOBIZBBDM/DF11128_-55547-Edit_bw-Editgrain-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708574399571-W0FBK0MX4SPF4L5SSXAM/DF11128_-55206-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1710283147577-ZN1LCO8MCL75MDMVT5T5/DF11128_-55163-bw.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708041563107-PU0M9HFXQOV0YZ9J3GV1/DF11147-19.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) - Blues Highway Visitor Center (Copy) (Copy) Blues Highway Visitor Center The Visitor Center along Mississippi 61, better known as the Blues Highway, not only has a very nostalgic feel, but it is also a plethora of informaion about the Blues heritage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708041566069-Y3LJ5GL3JIA08PIJLWPA/DF11147-80.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) - Barbee Cemetery (Copy) (Copy) Barbee Cemetery As the story goes, legendary bluesman, Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads - which allegedly are in the town of Clarksdale, Mississippi. I have it on solid authority, however, that the place where Robert Johnson spent his time ( as well as possibly “selling his soul to the devil”) was in the Barbee Cemetery on the outskirts of Clarksdale, along Highway 61, also known as the “Blues Highway”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708045161499-F4KYGPTQKVMQWCIH0R16/DF11147-204-bw.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) - The Hollywood (Copy) (Copy) The Hollywood The Hollywood took me by surprise. I was looking for a place to have lunch on my way out of the Delta. A local suggested The Hollywood, saying that they had the best burgers around, and then gave me directions. As I pulled off of Old Highway 61, turning right onto Old Commerce Road, I turned left into the nearly empty parking lot, went inside, and chose a table near the back. In the corner, near the entrance door, was an old piano. On the walls were memorabilia photographs, including one of a black woman playing a piano that look quite like the one near he entrance. There were also several posters of the singer/songwriter, Marc Cohen, hanging on the brick walls. I was baffled by th s, so when the waitress came to take my order, I inquired. She said that this is the place that Marc Cohen wrote about in his hit song: “Walking In Memphis”. This is where he came to play piano with Muriel - who was the woman in the photograph I mentioned. “Muriel plays piano, every Friday at The Hollywood. And they brought me down to see her, and asked me if I would Do a little number and I sang with all my might.

It is the quintessential community activity. Every week, women in Arnaudville, Louisiana, gather at the Arnaudville Art Center to sit around a large table and create a quilt. In truth, the quilt-making is simply a pretext for these women to come together, spend time in fellowship, and talk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708488526599-9BN8JPTCL5OVB65HPMH2/DF_11174-381437-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708552166102-D8WTDNOC7KVWHL9W545Q/Gene_Seneca_1.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708552194626-WY3S8DKZ4O2Q61SLC7TO/DF11134-58259-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708552246704-RMAAIBY8V06XL7P5ZANG/DF11134-12558-Edit-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708543582886-LFPAIDF692DVUQ77QVPJ/DF11169-625132-Enhanced-NR-bw.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) Crawfishing is a vibrant tradition deeply ingrained in the fabric of Louisiana's heritage that has been passed down from generation to generation. But crawfishing isn't merely about the catch—it's a way of life. It's about community, family, and a connection to the land. As the season wanes, the flooded fields, once teeming with crustaceans, transform into fertile grounds for another Cajun staple: rice. It's a seamless transition, a cycle of sustenance and tradition that embodies the resilience and resourcefulness of Cajun culture. Beyond its practical significance, crawfishing encapsulates the spirit of Louisiana—a blend of resilience, ingenuity, and a deep reverence for the land. It's a tradition that transcends time, weaving itself into the very identity of Cajun communities and serving as a testament to their enduring heritage. In every trap pulled from the waters, there lies a story—a story of resilience, of connection, and of the unwavering spirit that defines Cajun culture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708047135836-C95T67V6W0YFKS50POR3/DF11169-624597-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) - Checking the Crawfish Traps at Sunrise (Copy) (Copy) Checking the Crawfish Traps at Sunrise Crawfishing begins early in the morning, just as the sun rises above the horizon.

Espresso Yourself Cafe Cafe’s, in general, have always been a gathering place for both locals, as well as outsiders passing through. Espresso Yourself Coffee Shop that had located along Main Street in the heart of Grafton, became an essential part of this community. It was the hub of the community in so many ways. It was also the place that I based myself out of while working in Grafton. One day, while in the cafe, I watched these three teenage girls sitting around the table giggling, and sharing stories of their lives. Instead of each sitting autonomously with their phones, they were engaging face to face. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708278834833-0CL51PL0NE8NAGQX0Y38/DRF11257-671-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708278837685-5KT2N9ZF9GQZ5QV5UWJP/DRF11257-684-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708278824863-VI5ICFU2LT6MPYDMO72F/DRF11257-482-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) - Tomb of the Unknown Soldier/Grafton, West Virginia (Copy) (Copy) Tomb of the Unknown Soldier/Grafton, West Virginia In the older of the two National Cemeteries in Grafton, West Virginia, is a “tomb of the unknown soldier” - a large marker representing those whose bodies were never recovered, or identified. It is in the cemetery that the annual Memorial Day Parade culminates. Speeches are delivered, and various ceremonies are enacted. In each of these the devotion and respect by all in attendance is profound. This is also a tradition of respect and honor that continues to be passed on from parents to children - as it has since the very first celebration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708278825552-5MGEOYC5HXFGMPPWMVT0/DRF11257-488-Edit.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) - Bell Ringer (Copy) (Copy) Bell Ringer As part of the Memorial Day celebration at the National Cemetery in Grafton, a veteran rings a large bell to honor the dead, and to signal the salute of the American Flag.

Every morning Ray, along with a few other regulars, arrives at the cafe - generally sitting at the same tables and booths, to discuss the current events of the days. At on point I overhear Ray mentioning that he raises chickens. Several minutes later, when here was a break in the conversations, I asked him how many chickens he had. “24,000”, he responded in a matter-of-fact way. I was shocked! I had thought maybe a few dozen. As we continued the discussion he filled me in on he commercial ins and outs of raising chickens - including how to govern the specific size of he fully grown chicken. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708401839992-FK889SNX997080C7ZBSG/253436976.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1710851942356-GUIEFO9NYL2GVDE3F6IE/_DRF3443_bw.jpg America Found/The Gallery (Copy) As I was driving to Gillette, Wyoming for the annual Buck n’ Ball, and of course the annual Chicken Roping Competition, I passed by Devil’s Tower National Monument.

On the opposite side of the boardwalk was a pizza shop. Atop the pizza shop backed by the sky, was a statue of a short, chubby, Italian looking man wearing a white Baker’s jacket and hat. His arms raised and stretched outward as if he were a representation of God welcoming His son home. Just beneath this statue standing on the boardwalk was a young chubby boy wearing a bright red shirt, who had just emerged from the front doors of the pizza shop. A boxed pizza in his left hand and an ice cream cone in his right. He just stood there facing the man with the cross coming as if anticipating the coming crucifixion. From the left of the frame emerged a couple walking past the man with a cross, seemingly not paying attention at all. Coming from the other direction were a single horizontal line of teenage girls who also seemed oblivious to the man with a cross. Could all of these elements - not just the man with a cross, be some sort of modern representation of the scene that unfolded more than 2,000 years ago? It can be read in scripture that Jesus was paraded through the streets carrying his heavy cross, and at times stumbling, and if memory serves me, even falling. Scripture tells us that the people who lined the sidewalks jeered at Jesus, spat upon him, and more. But I don’t remember reading what the people did after Jesus passed by. Did they join the procession to Calvary, to did they return to the daily lives? On Calvary itself did hordes of people gather or was it just another crucifixion? We know from history that crucifixions during this time of the Roman occupation were quite common. Did people bring refreshments to the crucifixion? I am reminded of the horrific stories of our recent history in the United States, during the time of racial segregation where blacks were routinely hung from the branches of trees and people gathered with picnic baskets and cameras. Could this have been a similar situation during the crucifixion of Jesus.

momentous day of celebration and homage, wearing a beige trench coat and an ascot cap. He was standing on the steps of the historic Tabernacle Baptist Church, on Broad Street. I approached him, and said hello. He noticed my cameras, and my photojournalist vest, which didn’t deter him from responding to my greeting. We struck up a conversation. He told me that he had come up from Florida the day before, taking the night bus. He arrived in Selma that morning, well before daybreak, only to find that all of the motels were full. He spent the remainder of the night in the bus station. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708569093257-24DSDPPQ0FUSHUZMCGO4/DF11133-56235-v.02-Edit.jpg In Search of America My awareness was guided to this preacher who stopped at the end of the Edmund Pettus Bridge, after making his pilgrimage walk across, and back again. It wasn’t just the awareness of him standing there. It was the acute awareness of his posture, and the way he held his hands clasped together, combined with the emotion of his gaze that was directed into town less than fifty yards away from where he stood. I had a strong sense that he had been here, fifty years ago, as a much younger man. But to approach him, to engage him in conversation, would have been an invasion, so I made the photograph and moved on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708568603874-XJ0B5EAQUJOPO2W91PGA/DF11133-56250-FINAL.jpg In Search of America I noticed this young African-American boy, dressed in a suit, and tie, emerging from the bridge. This awareness afforded me the time to watch, and study the scene as it unfolded, so that I could position myself in the best possible way to capture the story that wanted to be told. He walked with, what I presumed to be, family members: mother, father, and older brother perhaps. As I dropped to one knee and raised the camera to my face, they were well aware of my presence, as well as my intention to make a photograph of them. As the grew closer, and were very near to passing by, the young boy grabbed his necktie with one hand and I released the shutter. For me it is a quintessential image of what the day represented. The gray clouds thatThe had begun to break in the sky above the bridge. This young black boy, walking ahead of his family members as if leading the way into his future, and out of the tragedies, violence, and hatred of the past. He symbolized hope for us all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708568610918-2KDLN6MT9AJU8T74S12O/DF11133-56297-Edit-Edit-Edit-2.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708568611111-7EF66CVNBK1E4RZ4ESJ9/DF11133-56485_bw-Edit-Edit.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708568686735-G1O479M2KIHNOEC81OE7/DF11133-56529-bw-Edit-Edit.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708568694997-8JM9SZD3R0JN4KC45OMT/DF11133-56858-bw-Edit.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708568740349-55A7BJW0T2SMZELY9QGO/DF11133-56928-bw-Edit.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708568739943-PT2GYTDPFVCI5IDB9BP5/DF11133-56936-Edit-2.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708568703725-G8S32LUY2SUYOWTI11KK/DF11133-56895_bw-Edit.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708568703604-BKQOZMJ2FM1BHQLHVQ0X/DF11133-56864-bw-Edit.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708568687021-X8XB61U2NLN9CX652FEM/DF11133-56796_bw-Edit.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708568695148-VFVXAKHKD9BYT5OJ7CS1/DF11133-56844_bw.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708573035173-71DJNT71WGIPMK926O92/DF11128_-54619-Edit-4_v2.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708573775955-7XMVNHQ0H4QJOBIZBBDM/DF11128_-55547-Edit_bw-Editgrain-Edit.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708574399571-W0FBK0MX4SPF4L5SSXAM/DF11128_-55206-Edit.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1710283147577-ZN1LCO8MCL75MDMVT5T5/DF11128_-55163-bw.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708041563107-PU0M9HFXQOV0YZ9J3GV1/DF11147-19.jpg In Search of America - Blues Highway Visitor Center (Copy) (Copy) Blues Highway Visitor Center The Visitor Center along Mississippi 61, better known as the Blues Highway, not only has a very nostalgic feel, but it is also a plethora of informaion about the Blues heritage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708041566069-Y3LJ5GL3JIA08PIJLWPA/DF11147-80.jpg In Search of America - Barbee Cemetery (Copy) (Copy) Barbee Cemetery As the story goes, legendary bluesman, Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads - which allegedly are in the town of Clarksdale, Mississippi.

I was looking for a place to have lunch on my way out of the Delta. A local suggested The Hollywood, saying that they had the best burgers around, and then gave me directions. As I pulled off of Old Highway 61, turning right onto Old Commerce Road, I turned left into the nearly empty parking lot, went inside, and chose a table near the back. In the corner, near the entrance door, was an old piano. On the walls were memorabilia photographs, including one of a black woman playing a piano that look quite like the one near he entrance. There were also several posters of the singer/songwriter, Marc Cohen, hanging on the brick walls. I was baffled by th s, so when the waitress came to take my order, I inquired. She said that this is the place that Marc Cohen wrote about in his hit song: “Walking In Memphis”. This is where he came to play piano with Muriel - who was the woman in the photograph I mentioned. “Muriel plays piano, every Friday at The Hollywood. And they brought me down to see her, and asked me if I would Do a little number and I sang with all my might. She said, tell me are you a Christian child, and I said Maam I am tonight!” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708229719285-WHHO0MCYZDKV21BQH6YI/DF11147-180-bw.jpg In Search of America - Interior of The Hollywood (Copy) (Copy) Interior of The Hollywood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708041577488-JBK0C5BZ1ZVAL6O3S8JE/DF11147-459.jpg In Search of America - Painted Facade/Indianola, Mississippi (Copy) (Copy) Painted Facade/Indianola, Mississippi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708044129534-T6AJ24CP972HKVBUTHIP/DF11147-254-bw.jpg In Search of America - Deke Harp (Copy) (Copy) Deke Harp https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708044241018-Y8FJJ8BO64Z0FWO99VK7/DF11147-457-Edit.jpg In Search of America - Henry Gip Gipson (Copy) (Copy) Henry Gip Gipson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708044511830-0KVQG5JJ01R5P6DQY2SI/DF11147-392-Edit.jpg In Search of America - Nickson's Juke Joint / Tunica, Mississippi (Copy) (Copy) Nickson's Juke Joint / Tunica, Mississippi https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708457679787-37XZX0CU8LWT82CWQA5N/DF_11147-104506-Edit_v2.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708458588831-G12K207I1KZDIYO99JFS/DF11162-634786-Edit.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708458085138-KQZ9LBPJ3XWN38IJ2AJM/DF_11147-104547-Edit.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1710289172439-MMBMJ4A599Z056JK8P9H/DF11174-909286-bw.jpg In Search of America I had heard of "quilting circles" but had never witnessed one until now. It is the quintessential community activity. Every week, women in Arnaudville, Louisiana, gather at the Arnaudville Art Center to sit around a large table and create a quilt. In truth, the quilt-making is simply a pretext for these women to come together, spend time in fellowship, and talk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708488526599-9BN8JPTCL5OVB65HPMH2/DF_11174-381437-Edit.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708552166102-D8WTDNOC7KVWHL9W545Q/Gene_Seneca_1.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708552194626-WY3S8DKZ4O2Q61SLC7TO/DF11134-58259-Edit.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708552246704-RMAAIBY8V06XL7P5ZANG/DF11134-12558-Edit-Edit.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708543582886-LFPAIDF692DVUQ77QVPJ/DF11169-625132-Enhanced-NR-bw.jpg In Search of America Crawfishing is a vibrant tradition deeply ingrained in the fabric of Louisiana's heritage that has been passed down from generation to generation. But crawfishing isn't merely about the catch—it's a way of life. It's about community, family, and a connection to the land. As the season wanes, the flooded fields, once teeming with crustaceans, transform into fertile grounds for another Cajun staple: rice. It's a seamless transition, a cycle of sustenance and tradition that embodies the resilience and resourcefulness of Cajun culture. Beyond its practical significance, crawfishing encapsulates the spirit of Louisiana—a blend of resilience, ingenuity, and a deep reverence for the land. It's a tradition that transcends time, weaving itself into the very identity of Cajun communities and serving as a testament to their enduring heritage. In every trap pulled from the waters, there lies a story—a story of resilience, of connection, and of the unwavering spirit that defines Cajun culture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708047135836-C95T67V6W0YFKS50POR3/DF11169-624597-Edit.jpg In Search of America - Checking the Crawfish Traps at Sunrise (Copy) (Copy) Checking the Crawfish Traps at Sunrise Crawfishing begins early in the morning, just as the sun rises above the horizon.

There is a constant danger working in these conditions, and not just from the most obvious such as a collapse. There are thick pneumatic cables, as well as electrical cables everywhere, and heavy machinery in constant motion, with giant cutting blades that strip the coal from the seam walls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1710270729413-D5138PKOPX5V1B62IJ2K/DF11107_-50912.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708440087694-UT7R3TKI5TB4L0GDM482/WaffleHouse_FINAL_1016.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708364944446-O2GYTIW9S9U8OI8DB6KE/DRF11277_Waffle-House-37-Edit.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1711141797502-G39TRO7PV548HVWDZU4B/DF11131-60422-Edit.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708364256730-NF1RUWPCESYK28A3HRM1/DRF_11275-192.jpg In Search of America - The Chili Pot (Copy) (Copy) The Chili Pot BJ Fokakis, the fourth generation of the family-owned diner: The Coney Island Cafe, in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, holds the infamous copper-lined pot hat has ben used by each generation to make the famous chile for the Cafe’s chili dogs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708364254253-OBAKJQ1JWOXGO8Y3YZP4/DRF_11275-223-Edit.jpg In Search of America - Coney Island Cafe (Copy) (Copy) Coney Island Cafe Early morning prep for the breakfast rush.

Every morning Ray, along with a few other regulars, arrives at the cafe - generally sitting at the same tables and booths, to discuss the current events of the days. At on point I overhear Ray mentioning that he raises chickens. Several minutes later, when here was a break in the conversations, I asked him how many chickens he had. “24,000”, he responded in a matter-of-fact way. I was shocked! I had thought maybe a few dozen. As we continued the discussion he filled me in on he commercial ins and outs of raising chickens - including how to govern the specific size of he fully grown chicken. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1708401839992-FK889SNX997080C7ZBSG/253436976.jpg In Search of America https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5df4511e34dec8152c864f16/1710851942356-GUIEFO9NYL2GVDE3F6IE/_DRF3443_bw.jpg In Search of America As I was driving to Gillette, Wyoming for the annual Buck n’ Ball, and of course the annual Chicken Roping Competition, I passed by Devil’s Tower National Monument.

On the opposite side of the boardwalk was a pizza shop. Atop the pizza shop backed by the sky, was a statue of a short, chubby, Italian looking man wearing a white Baker’s jacket and hat. His arms raised and stretched outward as if he were a representation of God welcoming His son home. Just beneath this statue standing on the boardwalk was a young chubby boy wearing a bright red shirt, who had just emerged from the front doors of the pizza shop. A boxed pizza in his left hand and an ice cream cone in his right. He just stood there facing the man with the cross coming as if anticipating the coming crucifixion. From the left of the frame emerged a couple walking past the man with a cross, seemingly not paying attention at all. Coming from the other direction were a single horizontal line of teenage girls who also seemed oblivious to the man with a cross. Could all of these elements - not just the man with a cross, be some sort of modern representation of the scene that unfolded more than 2,000 years ago? It can be read in scripture that Jesus was paraded through the streets carrying his heavy cross, and at times stumbling, and if memory serves me, even falling. Scripture tells us that the people who lined the sidewalks jeered at Jesus, spat upon him, and more. But I don’t remember reading what the people did after Jesus passed by. Did they join the procession to Calvary, to did they return to the daily lives? On Calvary itself did hordes of people gather or was it just another crucifixion? We know from history that crucifixions during this time of the Roman occupation were quite common. Did people bring refreshments to the crucifixion? I am reminded of the horrific stories of our recent history in the United States, during the time of racial segregation where blacks were routinely hung from the branches of trees and people gathered with picnic baskets and cameras. Could this have been a similar situation during the crucifixion of Jesus.
