It was the “absence of a price tag” that initially sparked Swampy’s interest in hopping trains as a teenager, but a decade later the elusive artist says he continues to travel by rail because of the solitude. “There is a calm to the environment surrounding the tracks,” he writes in the intro of his recently released photobook, NBD. “It lacks the stress of being corralled by commerce and advertisements, like on the streets and highways where capitalism anticipates people will accumulate.”

Today, I am excited to share Jerry Siegel‘s images of the Black Belt region in Alabama. I first became acquainted with his work through The Do Good Fund, a collection of Southern photography, in which both of us have work.
