The Roads of Our Lives is a series of black-and-white photographs depicting the beautiful, remote roads of Delaware County, New York.
Statement from the artist, Nick Kelsh:
“The roads that wind through the hills and valleys of Delaware County touch me every time I drive on them or walk on them—or ride my bicycle. When I need to run an errand I often find myself taking the long way just for the inspiration. The symbolism of where I have been, where I am, and where I am going is never lost on me. I love these roads.”
And there’s no doubt about it, there’s a large dose of Robert Frost in these pictures. I love that.
Nick Kelsh is the photographer and author of 10 books, including two with Pulitzer Prize winner Anna Quindlen—Naked Babies and Siblings. He recently published his first novel, A Christmas Photo, an historical novel about the Philadelphia photographer, Robert Cornelius, who took the first close-up photograph of a human face in 1838, and his friendship with Charles Dickens.
Kelsh has appeared on Oprah and The Today Show multiple times.
Kelsh is a resident of Treadwell, New York.
