“Lisa Elmaleh’s portraits of American folk musicians resonate with grace and honesty. That she uses the historic collodion process to render these intimate character studies demonstrates a perfect marriage of form and content; slow and deliberate, richly lyrical. Captured in rural settings across the south, each evocative image reads like a story. Elmeleh’s series depicts both old timers and a younger generation of roots musicians, leaving the viewer with a deeper appreciation of the genre.” — Jennifer Shaw, Photographer and Coordinator of PhotoNola

"The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something, and tell what it saw in a plain way. Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one who can see. To see clearly is poetry, prophecy, and religion, — all in one." — John Ruskin
