Gedney’s Cars

With this post, the Archive of Documentary Arts inaugurates a monthly series highlighting work in our holdings that has been digitized. Our first post “Gedney’s Cars” celebrates the work of photographer William Gedney and his fascination with cars and people’s behavior/relationship with automobiles. All four of the photographs below are untitled and were taken in Kentucky in 1972. To see more of Gedney’s work in our digital collections, visit http://library.duke.edu/digitalcollections/gedney/. William Gedney’s life’s work is housed in the Archive of Documentary Arts.
