Nice ones JMO. I'm staying in Natchez for a few days between Christmas and New Years so will be exploring the Trace a little. Not sure if I'll make it that far north but if so I'll definitely have to take a look around the Pearl River!

That’s some dark and bloody ground y’all are treading, gents—the deep loess soils around Natchez were perhaps **the** prize in the great contest for the continent between the French and British in the first decades of the 18th C, culminating in the Fort Rosalie massacre in 1729 (basically a 9/11 moment for the colonists of Louisiana).
JMO: Magical images. Congratulations.Originally Posted by JMO;
There's loads of detail in my silver gelatin prints of these images, but I limited these files made from films scanned with my Coolscan 9000ED and edited in NIK's Silver Effects 2.0 to just over 1.0 MB.

This is powerful. I don't want to highjack this thread into prohibited non-photo topics, but when I look at small towns like this it seems it's no wonder that our society is so polarized. People in Winona and places like this really live in a different country. I hope you have a long-term goal of combining many of these images into a new book, along with your reflections on them.
Well done, Francis.
