Fall 2024 Showcase Ridenour

Through my work, I aim to capture the transformation of Taylor, Mississippi— showcasing the evolution from the old town to the new. In recent years, Taylor has changed, both in its architecture and population. My goal with these photographs is to highlight the contrast between the town’s historical roots and its modern developments. While the old Taylor still lingers in the aspects of the new town, these images illustrate the profound changes the city has experienced. The photos I’ve taken reflect both the remnants of Taylor’s past and the new, evolving landscape and structures. I wanted to emphasize how, even in the modern aspects of the town, the enduring charm of its small-town character continues to resonate.
