Southern Road Trip
Photographer Peter Kayafas has long been fascinated by the earthiness of southerners, their hospitality and their hatreds. Peter travels down the South's roads capturing the contradictions of the region.
Kayafas says, "Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker...I'd say that Highway 61 is one of the most historically relevant roads in America" due to the number of artists, writers and musicians who've travelled along it. Peter and travelling companion Maher chance upon many incredible sites, from Big Jack Johnson on his porch playing Catfish Blues, to meeting one of the people who took part in the freedom march led by Martin Luther King in the 1960s.
