as Art Director for the online photography magazine South X Southeast, I had the joy of working with a number of photographers. One of my sources for information and images was Jerry Siegel. Over time Jerry has built solid relationships with a host of leading artists and just folks from the region.
His images have also been in my curatorial projects including one of an courtly William Eggelston standing in a garden which is here.I can imagine Eggelston has just gotten up from playing the piano and is now listening to the music of a warm southern evening .
If you are near Auburn Alabama this summer please go and see this exhibition if not please order the beautiful catalog it is wonderful to see people you only hear about.

Facing South assembles 100 black-and-white and color portraits of Siegel's subjects, including Benny Andrews, Radcliffe Bailey, William Christenberry, Lamar Dodd, Ida Kohlmeyer, Charlie Lucas, Charles Shannon, and Kathryn Windham.
Expressive, intimate, and evocative, Siegel's body of work offers sensitive insights into the region's creative soul.
