Some Where Else is a unique collaboration between photographer Sam
Jones and musician Blake Mills that explores the American South through
photographs and music. Jones spent two years photographing small
towns in Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia and Louisiana, focusing on the
environment’s stuck-in-time quality-much of this part of the country has
been bypassed by corporate America, making for a landscape devoid of
homogenous franchises such as Wal-Mart, and Appleby’s. The resulting
photographs not only tell the story of what America looked like pre-
corporate sprawl, Mills’ music brings the subjects of the photographs to life-
and creates a mood that last long after the music fades and the book
closes.
Some Where Else takes you on the road less travelled. It is an eclectic and
personal diary of the American South, and invites the viewer to look for the
America that’s off the beaten track.
