This Confederate battle flag hangs on a tree in the backyard of a house on the corner of Saint Marys Avenue and High Street in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The word "Redneck" is often used as a pejorative for poor white people, but many poor and working-class whites have embraced the name.

I talked to the woman who lives here for quite a while. She gave an articulate defense of the Confederate flag, and her reasons for displaying it. In the weeks before I photographed this flag, there has been a strident campaign on the internet to remove the Confederate flag from public view. Racist groups and individuals often use the Confederate flag, though many if not most of the southerners and 'rednecks' who display are not racists. For them, it is simply a part of southern culture and history.

After I photographed this flag, the owner told me that I should go across the street to the Hitch-In-Post Tavern to see the Confederate flag that hangs inside.

Purchase Prints
by Christopher Crawford

All of my prints are available framed or unframed. I use black metal Neilsen & Bainbridge frames with white cotton unbuffered museum board for the mat and backing board for maximum archival protection. Photographs are printed on an Epson pigment printer using Epson's archival ultrachrome inset for long life.

Credit card payment is handled through Paypal. You do not have to have a Paypal account. When you checkout, you will be taken to Paypal's site. If you have a Paypal account, sign in and approve the payment.

If you do not have a Paypal account, and do not want to sign up for one, there is a link on the Paypal page that says "Don't have a Paypal Account?" Click it to pay without signing up. It will accept your credit card like a normal credit card payment.

Unframed prints usually ship within 7 days. This allows time for me to make your print and to allow it to cure for several days before I package it to ship. Framed prints usually take about two weeks, because my framer usually requires about a week to complete his work.

Please Note: In late 2024, I was forced to dramatically increase the prices for framed prints. This reflects the actual cost of framing them. I make no profit from the additional charge for framing; I charge you what the framer charges me, and every framer that I know has had to ramp up prices due to inflation in recent years. I earn my living selling my photographs, and offer the framing at cost because many people prefer to buy a print that is framed and ready to display.

Thank you for supporting my work.
