Soothing images of the Mississippi. Much of the empty space and solemn framing of the photos remind me of Joel Sternfelds work. He recently began installing his project Broken Manual at the Walker Art Center. He had been active on that project since 2006 and has finally been able to show the public. His website sheds more light on individual pictures. The third picture above, for instance, is of Johnny Cash's childhood home.
