The Varsity #1 Size:9.5x13

The young men on horseback are Terrence and Lucus

While hanging out at the Pettway lounge (the only business of any kind in Gee's Bend) I struck up a conversation with a man who actually grew up in this particular house and gave me the history of the 12 foot room

there is something very calming about it for me

after seeing Jerry here standing there at the stop sign I pulled over to ask for some direction

I was on my way to Gee's Bend and was a little lost

River View is shot in Lees County

which resulted in the addition of what was called the 12 foot room because of its dimensions

in one of the remaining Roosevelt Project houses from the 1930's

After figuring out that I was not heading his direction I asked if I could take his photography and we parted ways

First was that he was standing there waiting for a ride

Ga and my grandparents lived on a farm in the country along a red clay road much like this
