Photographer Spotlight: Robert Grand

A selection of images documenting the rural south by North Carolina-based photographer Robert Grand. Captured in and around one of the smallest counties in North Carolina, “Country Living Update” offers a collection of cultural encounters including a charred Piggy Wiggly grocery store, a rasslin’ match in the park where the mayor jumps in the ring, and the ubiquity of the belief that only Jesus saves. See more images from the project below.
