This is the issue number two of a collection of seven newspapers. Out of print. The second volume of the newspaper-format LBM Dispatch Series, a collaborative project by photographer Alec Soth and writer Brad Zellar, in which the duo document the sites, communities, histories, and legacies of various locales throughout the United States. This issue, devoted to upstate New York, was created during a two-week trip from the Hudson Valley to Ithaca from August 13 through August 24, 2012. Alec Soth has produced publications that stray from traditional methods, releasing them through his experimental arts institution dubbed Little Brown Mushroom. Between 2008 and 2015, the imprint’s zines and books emphasized the lively relationship between image and text, packaged and sequenced into intentionally affordable vessels. One such project is LBM Dispatch, a series of seven newspapers made between 2012 and 2014. For each issue, Soth and writer Brad Zellar embarked on a weeks-long road trip, documenting various regions in the US through the quirky banality of local news. That collection of 7 destinations—Ohio, Upstate, Michigan, Three Valleys, Colorado, Texas Triangle and Georgia—are now out of print, but their impact is felt by Soth to this day.
