Second Post:
This post is much more aligned with what I plan to normally publish, random content that I identify with and only short captions about each piece.
I suppose there is an underlying theme in this, a theme of ‘personal.’ These are all pieces of curated content that is close to home or personal favorites of mine.
It is this type of art that inspired me to start this blog and try and relay my interpretation of a southern sentiment.
Richard Grant’s Dispatches From Pluto: Lost and Found in the Mississippi Delta.
Whether Grant intended to write an ethnography or not, Dispatches From Pluto is one of the best ethnographic depiction of a subsegment of The South that I have ever read. Too often when academic norther elites write about souther culture they force analysis from their own perspective and do not even try to understand the underlying factors at play. Maybe it is because the amount of time Grant fully embedded his life in the culture or maybe it is his journalism background, but either way his story telling abilities and true open mind, create a fascinating and engaging vignette fo the Mississippi Delta–that also touches on themes that plague the south as a whole.
Photographs: Warner Tidwell
Nashville based Photographer Warner Tidwell beautifully captures the seasons and their feel in the south. These photos of spring blooms in Middle Tennessee perfectly depict the feel of Early April in the area.
One of her photographs serves as the back drop on the homepage, so I wanted to formally include her work asap.
Boy Named Banjo Is a folk-rock band from Nashville,TN. Their music, with a hints of nostalgia, tells beautiful stories and feels as if you are taken immediately to the Tennessee hills.
