I'm delighted that Professor Fred Moten chose this image for the cover of his book, Hughson's Tavern

The Official Website of
photographer Daryl Thetford.

People take photographs for as many reasons as people paint and others write. It is important that the image speaks to me in some way, whether it be humorous, serious, ironic or all three at once

I hope you enjoy the site. Please contact me with questions or ordering information.
