21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
One For the Road, 2023

We went to Clarksdale, Mississippi to stay at the Shack Up Inn during Easter weekend solely so I could take this self portrait. Researching for the trip I came upon a female guitar player sitting on that chair and I immediately wanted a shot of that location for my photo library. The t-shirt I'm wearing says Happy Hour, which I wore on purpose, and the bottle is Casa Noble reposado tequila. Tequila is my favorite spirit. I don't photograph my self often but I was happy to be in this shot.
