The beans and peas – just incredible! What an amazing story of survival of these wonderful prints, but heartbreaking that he sacrificed the glass negatives to use as cold-frames.

My imagination is absolutely buzzing, trying to re-create the scene of the glass plates used as
protection for seedlings. As complicated as a Tim Walker fantasy photo shoot — and equally
captivating. Thank you for bringing us this amazing, compelling series of photos — I love the
full-frontal approach to the subject; perhaps an indicator of how much Jones appreciated the beauty of such things, and his confidence in his own (great) abilities.

Bravo, Charles Jones. Bravo, GA.
Stay safe, all.
