I've really enjoyed your work, Austin. I haven't posted much here but when I saw your Clarksdale photos I thought it would be a good time to put up a photo of the Mojo Man that I shot in 1976. You can see more here.
Canon F-1 and Tri-X
(Pentax 67, 120 mm soft-focus lens)
Tri-X, no filter, it has been suggested that the grain is due to my use of USM. This was one of the few images I have managed to scan with my Drum Scanner (been having a few issues with it), 4000dpi.
Thanks for your comment, there are a few houses the opposite side of the church with a similar view (lucky beggers).
I really enjoyed looking through those Bill, as well as reading your reminiscence. I particularly like that first picture, as well as the one of the truck (!) and crowd from above. Obviously, the great man still had his mojo working, and was enjoying himself to boot. I wish I could have been born a little earlier, so I could have seen him in person. It was a moving experience though, to stand in the place where his cabin was there on Stovall Farms. I'd like to go back to the south someday and photograph those places in a more measured way.
Thank for the kind words regarding my stuff. I appreciate it.

Thanks Jonathan. The wind was blowing pretty hard and it took me eight frames to get the flag upside down.
