DJ has some wear, soiling, tears and chips. Harris Barnes of Clarksdale, Mississippi, spent more than 50-years as a farmer and an agricultural photojournalist. In 2002, he published his first Book, "Cotton, A 50-year Pictorial History." Barnes, of Clarksdale and a 1941 graduate of MSU, said he can recall, in most instances, the circumstances surrounding every ag-related picture he snapped. He remembered that his interest in photography was kindled by a peer while Barnes was working as a Delta farm manager following military duty in World War II. He never received formal photography training. “I really got into cameras only wanting to photograph my children,” he confessed. Eventually he turned his camera’s lens to his surrounding environment: fields of cotton. After freelancing part-time as an ag photographer, beginning in 1970, Barnes turned to the profession full-time, while eventually also becoming an ag journalist. While relocating to South Carolina, Barnes helped lead the Southeast Farm Press. That experience, he said, helped educate him on other kinds of crops outside of the Delta, such as tobacco. In 1980, Barnes became a full-time freelance photographer, gaining assignments across the country from various agricultural chemical and equipment companies, etc. He has assembled many of his pictures into books.
