Stuck in Time
I captured pictures of Batesville, Mississippi, and the town feels like it’s stuck in time, with its old buildings, faded signs, and quiet streets. Walking around, I loved how the old brick storefronts and classic homes seemed to tell their own stories. What I enjoyed most was seeing how much history is still alive in Batesville. It reminded me of the importance of preserving places like this, where the past feels so present. Capturing these moments made me appreciate the beauty of time standing still.
My name is EmmaClaire Mitchell, and I’m a junior at the University of Mississippi from St. Simons Island, Georgia, studying Southern Studies with a minor in Education. In my studies, I enjoy focusing on places that feel “stuck in time.” These places tell stories about the past and how it connects to today. I love uncovering these stories and sharing them with others. My goal is to use what I’ve learned to inspire people to connect with history and their own communities.
