Ghostlight Hardback
by Keith Carter
Hardback
Description
A collection of otherworldly photographs of Southern wetlands featuring an original ghost story. Southern wetlands, with their moss-draped trees and dark water obscuring mysteries below, are eerily beautiful places, home to ghost stories and haunting, ethereal light.
The newest collection from award-winning photographer Keith Carter, Ghostlight captures the otherwordly spirits of swamps, marshes, bogs, baygalls, bayous, and fens in more than a hundred photographs. From Ossabaw Island, Georgia, to his home ground of East Texas, Carter seeks “the secretive and mysterious” of this often-overlooked landscape: wisps of fog drifting between tree branches; faceless figures contemplating a bog; owls staring directly at the camera lens; infinite paths leading to unknown parts.
Similarly, spectral images are evoked in the original short story that opens this book.
Ghostlight, writes best-selling author Bret Anthony Johnston, “hovers, darts, disappears.
It can be as mean as a cottonmouth, as mischievous aes a child.
The closer you get, the farther the light recedes.” A masterpiece of “Bayou Gothic,” Ghostlight challenges our perceptions and invites us to experience the beauty of this elusive world.
