Take a Photographic Journey to America's Roadside Places & Urban Hangouts
Roadside diners and cafes, breakfast joints and corner bars, bowling alleys and neighborhood movie theaters. These are just some of the settings captured in Roadsides: Images of the American Landscape, a collection of over one hundred black-and-white images by photographer Kelly Povo.
With an aesthetic reminiscent of painter Edward Hopper and contemporary photographers Jeff Brouws (Highway: America's Endless Dream) and Mike Melman (The Quiet Hours), Povo captures everyday roadside and urban places minus the nostalgic gloss that mars the work of lesser artists. Often portraying them with a whimsical or ironic twist, she clearly delights in her subject matter.
So hop in and take a ride with the photographer to places she's eaten in, gassed up her car at, and had a beer and danced a set in. And become inspired to return to your own favorite neighborhood and roadside haunts.
