The tabby slave cabins of Kingsley Plantation have drawn me back again this year. It's still difficult to reconcile the internal conflict I have about photographing the cabin ruins as abstract designs when they are also the one-time homes of enslaved people. Here are three images that do nothing to resolve the problem, but make photographs I like nonetheless. (Film)

The principal crop at Kingsley Plantation was sea island cotton having previously been indigo. As
overland transportation was cumbersome if not altogether impossible,
bales would be loaded on river boats to be transported to markets. This pier is a contemporary version of the one
on the Fort George River which runs beside the plantation. The palms grace the river's edge from the front lawn of the main house. (Film)
