This work was a part of my series "Text of the South". The south is a place that is different than anywhere else. It’s opinionated and grounded in its roots. It’s covered in small towns of heavy histories and people who have been here their whole lives. One thing that everyone sees, whether you are driving through a small town to avoid traffic or driving right on the interstate, is signs. The south’s signs, I feel, are different than any other road side sign or billboard in the United States. Small businesses with signs that have been hand painted and extremely conservative political text is seen throughout the small towns of the south. I documented these signs and discovered the emotions many of them evoke from others. Political signs usually tend to evoke anger or judgment while local businesses tend to evoke happiness or wonder and blank signs with abandoned buildings tend to make one feel sad or lonely. It’s interesting how just a road sign can affect the way we feel. In the south, I feel these signs especially impact ones feelings of a place because of the south’s stereotypically opinionated nature. Photographed with a Hasselblad 501cm and Portra 400 120 film.
