Little Brown Mushroom and the LBM Dispatch

Everybody who was following my old blogs probably knows that I am a fan of Alec Soth’s Little Brown Mushroom.

Alec has a fairly new project, that he is working on with Brad Zellar: The LBM Dispatch.

The LBM Dispatch is an irregularly published newspaper of the North American ramblings of photographer Alec Soth and writer Brad Zellar.

I just got the email with the new post on their blog, and I think that this belongs here, because Little Brown Mushroom stands for very fine storytelling indeed.

From October 20th through November 5th, Alec Soth and Brad Zellar will be on the road in Michigan, producing an election season version of the LBM Dispatch in one of the country’s most diverse and politically fascinating states. The trip –a rambling search for the state of the union in towns all over Michigan– will take them across the Upper Peninsula to the Mackinac Straits, and then downstate through the enormous territory of the Lower Peninsula, including stops in Saginaw, Flint, Detroit, Ann Arbor, Kalamazoo, and Grand Rapids.

By the way, Alec, I am still waiting for that Trente Park book you once announced. I’d gladly preorder 5 books. I NEED to keep the standard of my christmas presents, after all, and I have many presents to buy. I am strongly counting on LBM.
