Common Threads is a combination of stories & photographs that paints pictures both with words as well as a camera about the South. Common threads evokes the deep attachment shared by both southerners for their native land: its people, its buildings, its trees & flowers. It draws to light what we are losing of the old South & documents its lingering presence in our landscape with eloquent images & words. In this unusual collaboration, writer Windham & photographer Cooper merge their observations of the South to create a sense of suspended time. Windham's stories recall small scenes that loom large in defining place & self. These tales remind us of relationships & landscapes that characterize who we are. Cooper sees with an artist's selectivity, capturing the South's fragile, transient beauties & its enduring symbols. The painterly photos, from most southern states, gives fresh insights into the land we thought we knew. Through finely rendered details, Common Threads reminds us of the importance of family & place. This book celebrates the bonds between people & our ties to a place we call home. It creates a tapestry of unforgettable images of our own Common Threads.
