I was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. I'm currently living and studying in Paris, France.
My photos, videos, and words are scattered across the web. There are other bits and pieces here and there.
“Breach of Peace is a book about the 1961 Mississippi Freedom Riders, a photo-history told in images old and new. The book features new portraits of 80 Riders and the mug shots of all 328 Riders arrested in Jackson that year, along with excerpts of interviews with the featured Riders.”
The above photo:
“Catherine Burks-Brooks. Born October 8, 1939, in Birmingham, AL.
Then: Senior, Tennessee State, Nashville; active in the Nashville movement.”
Read more about the project, and see more of the portraits here.

(Also, beware influx of typewriter images. Can’t stop looking, lately.)
Globes, maps, books, typewriters: these things I never tire of seeing.
