Our Living Past: A Portrait of Music Maker
Photographs by Tim Duffy

A portfolio exhibition curated, produced and sponsored by 21st Editions.

"Tim Duffy is a modern-day Edward Curtis as it relates to the Blues - a photographer whose art embodies a classic approach and sensibility and a musician from early on who has also produced some 200 albums by the pioneers of Southern Traditional music. Tim has woven his artistic and creative assets into a philanthropic organization (Music Maker Relief Foundation) which works to keep American Roots music vital with objectives and ideals, second to none."

- Steven Albahari, Publisher, 21st Editions
