Photographer Captures Dark And Lonely Roads Around The World

ADVERTISEMENT

Throughout his travels, Andy Lee has taken a lot of pictures of beautiful and forlorn roads around the world. Now, this creative director, filmmaker, painter, doodler and photographer (and we can probably also add “renaissance man” to the list) has collected these photos in an amazing series called “Roads” that will fill you with wanderlust.

He opens the photo gallery with a perfectly fitting quote from Jack Kerouac: “There was nowhere to go but everywhere.” The roads he’s shot over the years are eerily desolate and still.

One of this accomplished photographer’s series that he drew on was Blue Iceland, which we wrote about previously. Be sure to check out the rest of this prolific artist’s work as well, because he’s got a lot to show the world!

We live in the digital age. Photoshop is now used to enhance images. Get over it. In earlier days photos were enhanced in the darkroom.

You can have the most expensive camera and photoshop but that doesn't make a photographer. It's within the person. Tools don't make artists.

So what? Photoshop is a tool that enhances the art. When people say things like that they sound pompous. Tools were made to help artists.

One would like to know where these places are. One seldom gets a caption these days

Photography at it's best! You really get a feeling of isolation. His work is encapsulating!

They are indeed dramatic and beautiful. But they'd be lot more intriguing and appealing to me if I knew where they were taken.

My favorites are the old roads with the trees leaning in, and the one with the horses~

PS is just a digital darkroom that allows the photographer to express his particular vision.

Very dark and gloomy in some. I half expected to see Little Red Riding Hood to appear in some. Others looked like roads going to nowhere.

Nice, but, too many of the same type of road, i.e., lonely road going towards mountains.....
