Customer Reviews

Brilliant!

Meryl Truett's photographs of the southern landscape show a keen sensitivity. They are romantic, ironic, critical, witty, and technically dazzling. With an eye for type, flags, Indians, animals, and symbols, Meryl paints a picture of the vanishing south with a fond farewell. Her use of the Holga and dedication to fine printmaking show her talent as a photographer and print-maker. This is her first book and will certainly become a collector's item.

Worth checking out

I stumbled upon Ms. Truett's work and instantly loved it. The photographs are beautiful, the subjects fascinating yet treated with a gentle and down to earth sensibility, perhaps even a bit of humor. If you have ever taken a road trip through the South, you'll recognize the truisms in these photographs. Highly recommended.

A treasury of disappearing Southern eccentricities

The photography within this book captures images that are eccentric and intrinsically Southern, images that are disappearing with modern development. There is beauty, absurdity, and wonder in these photos. It's a way of life that may one day be forgotten, and Meryl Truett has taken on the admiral task of preserving it.
