I studied iconic American photographer Sally Mann a bit in college and have always felt drawn to raw, photojournalistic photography. Within these pages, we’ve attempted to capture the timeless beauty of a slow, free-range southern summer. Mary Fehr uses black-and-white photography to great effect, eliciting feelings of nostalgia. We hope you are as inspired as we are to savor the simple pleasures of summer that can be found in our own backyard. The Cahaba River Society is a great way to engage with the Cahaba River, one of the world's most biodiverse rivers in the world. Consider joining friends and family for a guided moonlit float under a full moon. To learn more about the 191 miles that make up the Cahaba River, including how to support conservation and public access efforts, visit www.cahabablueway.org.
