Since beginning to document the Cash family peach farm in 1995, Mike Corbin has concentrated on photo-documentation. He has contributed work to numerous publications and executed several commissions for corporate collections of photography. His peach photographs were exhibited in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol and at the University of Mississippi's Center for the Study of Southern Culture.

Recently retired from teaching full-time, he is looking forward to illustrating a friend's new book and to begin working on yet another photo-documentary of the people andland of and surrounding Spartanburg.

"When my wife and I moved to Spartanburg, we really thought it would be just for a year or two. Now, thirty years later -- we've raised our three boys here -- I guess we call it home. We like to travel, but I can't imagine leaving. It just might be a lack of imagination."
