FRC Store – Photographs

Every day I pass a group of photographs of old time musicians in my home and, in doing so, always find comfort to see these images. As with the recordings, I have decided to make some of these photographs available to our community, and begin with a focus on images from the Round Peak section of North Carolina. These photos were reproduced at a professional commercial photo shop from the original negative onto Fuji archival photo paper, not cheaper ink jet paper. They are stored here in an archival envelope and then shipped in a cardboard priority mail envelope protected by bubble wrap. Although many photographerÕs sell their photos anywhere from the hundreds to the thousands, we are keeping these images at a reasonable and affordable price. However, please note that these photos are copyrighted by the Field Recorders' Collective, intended for home and not commercial use.

Please also check out the 56 CDs for sale (plus 2 video DVDs). You will find the most recent issues on this page. Please follow the links to our 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and Young Musician Series CDs.
