We're off to the presses in Holland this week! In That Land of Perfect Day will be in New York by the first week of September, as will I, signing books and inserting prints! Makes me feel like I need a Sno Ball in this summer heat. #brandonthibodeaux #whenmorningcomes #blacklivesmatter #makeportraits #mamiyac330 #mississippi #wearemjr #southern #inthatlandofperfectday #instadfw (at Duncan, Mississippi)

Maw Maw's New Braids. She danced upon the dusty lane. Glittering in the summer sun, exploding with life, when released from her mother's lap after hours of weaving. The sparkle of each tiny bead a reminder that good things do come with time if we just have the strength to hold on. *LINK TO BOOK IN PROFILE* Or visit RedHookEditions.com for pre-sale. #brandonthibodeaux #inthatlandofperfectday #whenmorningcomes #makeportraits #blacklivesmatter #deltablues #mississippi #mamiyac330 #wearemjr #blackandwhitephotography #redhookeditions (at Duncan, Mississippi)

LENSCRATCH FEATURE PRE-SALE ANNOUNCEMENT

I can’t thank Aline Smithson enough for her kind words and generous support in announcing the pre-sale release of my forthcoming book, In That Land of Perfect Day. The book is based on my eight-year project When Morning Comes that focuses on life in the Mississippi Delta.

Here is a link to the article.

And here is a link to the pre-sale through my publisher, Red Hook Editions.

"By and By, when the morning comes, when the saints of God are gathering home, we will tell the story of how we overcome, we will understand it better by and by" - In the little white churches that dot the delta landscape, like this one near BoBo, Mississippi, we sang songs that speak about faith and perseverance. Our hearts swelled as our voices filled the air. *One more week until #inthatlandofperfectday goes to print. It's the final countdown.

Tick tock tick tock! 48 hours until the big news. It's hard to believe that 8 years ago I road my little bicycle into Alligator, Mississippi, finding folks whom would welcome in a stranger without a second thought and change my life forever. Folks like my buddy "Nut" here who loved to show off his buck. #WhenMorningComes comes true. @redhookeditions #mississippi #mamiyac330 #filmisnotdead #wearemjr #photobook #southern #blacklivesmatter (at Alligator, Mississippi)

ATLANTIC RECORDS

Last October I was fortunate enough to shoot Nashville-based musician Adia Victoria and her band in Dallas for Fader Magazine. Adia and I worked wonderfully together that night. So much so that Atlantic Records emailed me in January to shoot her promotional material in Nashville for her debut album, Beyond the Bloodhounds. The label just announced the album's release and I'm beyond excited to share a few of the shots with you. Here are a few links to the album announcements.
