Three in the Delta, all on film

For the last several years I’ve been going to Mississippi to hang out with my good friend, Lowry Wilson. We ride the delta and look at the changes going on down there. It’s a great photographic getaway and a chance to slow down and just let the worlds issues go to the side while capturing what the Delta looks and feels like.  I recently noticed that I’ve been taking photos of groups of three. When I was in the jewelry business, we were taught to do displays with odd numbers like 3, 5 and 7 items, as they were most visually pleasing. Anyways, here are some that I did on the most recent trip, all shot on film. I’m thinking about ditching the digital and just moving to film… we’ll see.

Three of  20 plus columns are all that remain of the Columns of Windsor. The mansion made it through the civil war, then someone dropped a cigarette in the 1890s They are like 45 feet tall.
