Alaska & the Boonies

from the You Can't see Denali from here series Ben Huff

I posted in late May about the Boonville,USA project that is to start August 1st. Ben Huff, a terrific photographer and blogger from Fairbanks, Alaska (ground zero for Boonville?) has an interview with Timothy Briner.

"No two places are the same. No two regions are the same. Yet, when people discuss small-town America they often have a very specific idea of what they think it is. Expressions like "The Boonies" or "Boondocks" reflect that judgment. By using a common and evocative name like Boonville and showcasing the six different regions and towns, I am attempting to explore the connection small towns have to each other and to the rest of America."

I'm looking forward to following this project as it unfolds and admire Mr. Briner's courage in allowing us along for the ride.
