Like Jack Kerouac, Hunter Barnes paints a picture of what life is like in America, in the space between New York and California. Except instead of words, he uses his camera. The documentary photographer's latest collection of pictures, titled Roadbook, includes portraits of serpent-handling pastors in West Virginia and Native Americans taking part in a Pow Wow, alongside snapshots of the artist's more metropolitan friends. 'For years I’ve traveled with my cameras capturing moments of time with the people the road has led to me. 'The road has taught me what I know today. These are the stories I have waited to tell,' Barnes writes. Roadbook was published in October through Reel Art Press. It is available for purchase on their website.
