  1. Hi, I happened upon your blog while searching for a photo to illustrate a post about Faulkner on my blog “Stuff Southern People Like.” http://girloutofdixie.wordpress.com

    I’m blown away by your photos, and was hoping I could use the writing on the wall shot in my post. I’d, of course, provide a link and attribution.

    Thanks,
    Kim
