I knew Eudora Welty as a writer, but I never knew she was also a photographer. The title of the book is, Eudora Welty Photographs. Her work is stunning. The photos are set in Mississippi in the 1930s. I was moved to tears as I viewed the photographs. So much humanity, so much that was real and raw and also beautiful. I was especially moved by her photographs of the Bird Parade. Women and girls dressed in wings and feathers marched together in the parade. Their creativity is reflected in their feathered attire. I have always loved birds and the thought of having wings and I longed to march with them.
