Once introduced as a hippie journalist who believes a dance party can solve any problem. Reporting from Pakistan, Mississippi, Arkansas and Standing Rock. Mostly at VICE. Feminist. Travel notes & photography from Iceland, Mexico, Italy & around. Sometimes talking about music & stuff that would interest Gen-X -cusp- millennials.

I've been looking at a lot of Southern photography this week, because I just wrote a review for the Jackson Free Press on Highway 51: Mississippi Hill Country. Thought I'd share some of my favorites. The color-saturated hyperrealism of William Eggleston:

Birney Imes is just an unassuming small town Mississippi newspaper editor, who happens to have his photos in The Met....

The haunting, visual poetics of Virginia native and Princeton professor Emmet Gowin...

Why has someone not already made this Jerry Uelsmann photo as the cover of The Unvanquished?
