You are most welcome. Enjoy the journey. You will enjoy discovering Shelby's work. I have a string of his books and find great joy each time. I notice things in the background too. Things I didn't see last time that contextualizes the image and tells me something about the sitter.
Beautiful article, Soren. More than a photographer Mr Lee Adams is definitely a friend and this one can see in the couple of photographs in your article. They’re at ease, not posing, just themselves. The ideal ingredients for a strong, perfect portrait.To show more than the eye can see. The bond between the one in front of the camera and the other behind it. Thank you for sharing this photographer. I never heard of him but it is never too late to get to know someone.
Wow, truly outstanding photos! Can you imagine watching those images start to emerge in the developer tray? I did not know this artist, so thank you for introducing me to him!
I lived in southeastern Kentucky through my teens and early adulthood, and know that Lee having won the trust of these insular communities was no mean feat. Great photos that ring true.

That would be something, wouldn't it!
Thanks for checking out my post!
One of America’s great portrait photographers who also produced an elegant social commentary in the process. Thanks!
