Agathos Dorea

American Dust And David Hunnicutt
Much of David Hunnicutt’s work documents poignant and iconic scenes from the Central and Southern Plains of the United States–hence the site’s name; American Dust. Capturing important images of history that will most likely vanish in our generation, David has concentrated his efforts on photographing and recording the life, times, and history of the people of the Great Plains.

From interviewing the survivors of the Great Dust Bowl to wandering what’s left of long-abandoned ghost towns, the lion’s share of the photographs of Agathos Dorea are dedicated to capturing a time that will soon be forgotten; the rest of his photographs chronicle various adventures, encounters, and experiences that were, selfishly, too meaningful to leave unrecorded.

In addition to publishing personal stories, interviews and photographs, David Hunnicutt also dedicates space on American Dust to featuring the writers, photographers, and artists who have made significant contributions to the territory that is known simply as The Great Plains.

David Hunnicutt has published three books of photography.  His first book, Chasing Eight: In Search Of The American Cowboy was published in January of 2010. His second book, Living With Ghosts was published later that same year.  His newest book, On A Long Road Wandering, was released in January of 2011.

David makes his home in Nebraska.
