Hi Everyone: Any William Faulkner fans on the list? We drove down to Oxford, Mississippi to see Faulkner's Home, Rowan Oak & some manuscript archives at the University of Mississippi, as well as stopping at the Center for Southern Culture, which is on campus as well. I highly recommend going to the campus library to see the manuscript items. Faulkner's Nobel Peace Prize is there among other items. It's free. Ole' Miss is a lovely campus, and we were surprised to learn the student body is only around 14,000 students. I would have guessed 20-25, but I would have been only wrong--again.
Anyway, I've wanted to photograph this famous front walk for a long time. Unfortunately, the conditions were not so good: cloudy & a constant misty rain. The grounds, which are lovely, were quite muddy. I had to work fast, wipe the camera, work faster, wipe the camera, then work even faster. Still, I'm happy I got something. Sometimes you just have to shoot in the conditions Mother Nature gives & make peace with this fact.
