Southbound | Diana Bloomfield

A native North Carolinian, I grew up in a place called Reidsville, a small Southeastern Piedmont town dominated by tobacco, textiles, and everyone knowing who “your people” were. 

And while I have lived many other places, nowhere rings truer to me than the South I know and remember.  These images reflect that sense of place for me.  They are from an ongoing series, which I began nearly 30 years ago, and continue to the present.  All were made throughout North Carolina.

The War that Nourished Photography by Raju Peddada

The War that Nourished Photography by Raju Peddada

A face is more than just a face. It's a message board, that offers more than we can read. Or it can be a billboard, revealing the inner most condition. The face always conveys the compressed energy of life being experienced in a myriad details – that in retrospect, only a fecund imagination and acute sensitivity can correlate and coalesce.
