David B. Jenkins

David Jenkins, photographer and author of Backroads and Byways of Georgia, Georgia: A Backroads Portrait, and the best-selling Rock City Barns: A Passing Era, has photographed for some of America's leading corporations and organizations in his forty-plus-year career. His articles and/or photographs have appeared in American Heritage, Financial Planning, Georgia, Old Farmer’s Almanac, Omni, Outdoors, Money, The Philadelphia Inquirer Sunday Magazine, Rangefinder, Shutterbug, Southern Living, and Time. He has photographed and written guidebooks to a number of American cities, and documentary assignments have taken him to 28 countries on five continents. As an artist in photographs and words, his domain is the old, the odd and the ordinary; the abandoned, the beautiful, and the about to vanish away. He is a visual historian of an earlier America and a recorder of the interface between man and nature; a keeper of vanishing ways of life. Jenkins and his wife Louise, a Nurse Practitioner, have three sons and six grandchildren. They live on a small farm in the Northwest Georgia mountains. He is currently working on another book -- Backroads and Byways of Tennessee.
