As an introduction, I was a photojournalist on an assignment when I first met Walker Percy. I then was allowed by him to document what it was to be a writer for the next dozen years-or-so--until his death.?? From this exclusive documentation I have now compiled a book of photographs and wish to invite anyone who would like to be a part of its publication.? I have started a?Kickstarter site for Walker Percy: Daylight and Dark...please take the time to view the movie and read the glowing reviews from other Percyphiles for what we propose. In case you want to share the link to this site with others it is:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/christopherrharris/walker-percy-daylight-and-dark > ? Thanks for any support you can offer...I hope to meet many of you at future Percy functions!?
