America the beautiful? America the Great! America the promised land? But what is the soul of America, and has that dream died?
In the summer of 2002, two young British brothers Jeremy and Mark T Goddard embarked on a road trip that would have elements of an odyssey and a soulful pilgrimage.They went in search of their own version of El Dorado, conjuring visions of a lost city shrouded in the mists of Central America, instead of the promise of ubiquitous gold, the prize they sought was great music. They sailed into the metaphorical unknown to explore the lands that had given birth to rock 'n' roll, soul, jazz and the blues.
Mark's photos are candid and full of emotion, forgoing the approach of editing the
images to make the scenes more perfect. He shows us, much like a
documentarian, the beauty in the imperfect, captured with the soul of an artist.
The key to artistic expression is to do something with danger and style; the photos
you see here certainly capture that.
