After celebrating my sisters wedding in Dallas, Matt and I headed back North. On recommendations from my cousins, we stopped in Memphis and Asheville along the way. We met Vince Johnson and the Plantation All Stars (above) in Memphis and then found our way to a little old brothel turned legitimate bar where Matt played Ray Charles' old keys. Asheville is an amazingly cute little town and reminded me of Santa Fe/Austin/Brooklyn. We ate locally sourced blackberry jam and felt right at home.
The drive through Appalachia continues to astound me. I cannot understand why, now that we've got the whole transportation thing figured out, more people do not live in this part of America. It's so breathtakingly beautiful it blows my mind.
We're back in Brooklyn now. I shot Fujiya and Miyagi last week at Mercury Lounge and it snowed for the first time last Saturday. Our well traveled dogs loved the snow but it has since melted.
