In the book Behind the Hedges, photographer Will Vogt returns to a world he knows intimately… the unlikely combination of South Texas ranches, seaside cottages in Watch Hill, and the rituals of an American upper class that prefers understatement to explanation. His debut monograph, These Americans, captured the champagne-fizz bravado of the 1980s, and this second book is more like a well-aged Bordeaux: quieter, deeper, and far more revealing, according to our pop cultural arbiter, Lance Avery Morgan, who caught up with the talented man and his camera.

Another musical birthday. Muddy Waters would have been 113 today. Under the kind influence of great friend and musical mentor Johnny Nicholas, I attended Newport Folk in 1969 and took this photo.
Thinking about Richard Manuel on his birthday. He was a beautiful singer and a key member of The Band. Richard left this world way too soon. I took this photo as an aspiring rock and roll photographer in 1969.

What a special night to see my friend Robert Earl Keen at the Park Cities Quail Coalition banquet. Robert is a true sportsmen, quail enthusiast and cocker lover. He is a perfect choice for this prestigious honor. It was great fun to see so many quail supporters under one tent. @parkcitiesquail
