        "description": "Known for mysterious photographs taken primarily in the southern U.S., Carter has built a reputation upon the ability to instinctively capture the fleeting and fragile relationship between man and nature. By immersing himself in southern culture, Carter is able to create intriguing photographs that grasp the viewer\u2019s attention while leaving them with curious images of startling beauty. This close-up portrait captures a large moth resting on an unknown\r\nman\u2019s bearded lip. The man\u2019s unflinching gaze mimics that of the photographer\u2019s persistent focus on his subject, making this one of Carter\u2019s most engaging images.\r\nGift of William S. Lipscomb in memory of his father, James S. Lipscomb 2002.147",
