Between Past and Future: The Momentary Present

This photographic essay includes a dozen cultural landscape images from locations in the American South. Cumulatively, they interpret these places as a series of what I call "momentary presents"—instants in which the past and future meet. Everything seen in these photographs is rooted in an accumulated past that is in the process of becoming the future. Much of the South's history is a known quantity; the region's future, however, is uncertain. These photographs question the nature of that future and to what degree the past will continue to inflect it.
