Southern Exposure

The land of the south is a stark contrast to may other landscapes of this country. But its history, charm, simplicity, and subtle beauty is unmistakeable. Cypress trees over a thousand years old, gnarly forests, stormy coastlines, and acres of rarely explored swampland come to life with the proper vision. This is the essence of southern America; with each image we glimpse into its rich history, charm, and beauty across the seasons.
