William Christenberry's photographs--from his earliest Brownie photographs of the early 1960s to his later work with a large-format 10x8 camera---- are of a place, time and way of life that are vanishing, if not vanished. His photographic exploration of the American South has been ongoing for forty years. His work builds on Walker Evans, and parallels the work of international practitioners like Bernd and Hilla Becher.
William Christenberry, White Door, Moundville, Alabama
This is a photograph of what once was---so what we have representations of disappearing and memory haunted places.

I like this Photo. It has a wonderful order about it. I would call it Honest Poverty.
