Butch Ruth -- old timey photographer.
Butch Ruth lives in Greenville, Mississippi. He's been shooting blues photos and other Southern subject matter for a number of years now. When he's not shooting a camera, he's usually searching yard sales, the classifieds or eBay to buy or trade for one. He is an old camera equipment junkie. He loves film -- not digital. And he loves to experiment. He uses old cameras, cheap cameras, children's cameras... whatever he thinks might give him the effect he's looking for. He also goes out of his way to assist and promote Mississippi's great blues performers. He was Eugene Powell's caretaker late in life and continues to help out guys like T-Model Ford and Pat Thomas when they need it. In the past, he has assisted the Mount Zion Fund, Greenville Blues Walk of Fame, Highway 61 Blues Museum and countless other blues-related organizations. His photos hang in various blues museums and have appeared in several publications.
