Shoun Hill, Photographer, Black Farmer Cause

I met Shoun Hill a couple of years ago.  We were on the land at a function sponsored by the Black Farmers and Agriculturalists Association. We had music, food, furniture, t-shirts, and golf carts all around.  The stage was Gary Grant's front porch. A marvelous occasion.

Shoun had come up from Georgia where he was doing a photography fellowship. My first image of him is that of Shoun emerging from a cloud of dust, camera in hand, as he took photographs up close and personal of a black farmer harvesting peanuts in Tillery, North Carolina.  At that time he was doing work that he describes in this video that follows.

Now, he is fund raising for an important photographic project that will tell the stories of Black farmers and their struggles to hold on to their land.  Art, photography, and music are incredible ways to tell the story.

Early on there was John Ficara, an incredible talent with his camera.

Now there is Shoun Hill. Remember that name.  Shoun Hill.

I plan on supporting his work via my pocketbook.  I hope you will consider doing the same. There are some tax write-off possibilities as well as perks that he will put in our hands.

Here is the link to his fund raising page.

It is a noble cause.
