Americana 2
A year ago, when DuckDuck collective first came together, we posted a blog entitled “Americana”. This was the first time that the three of us had ever combined our imagery together into a single project.
“Americana 2″ is a look into some of the more personal images and portraits we have taken over the last year as a team. It has been a beautiful ride and we are so glad so many of you have enjoyed it with us.

Wonderful set of images.
Been couple of times here, now I will surely be a regular. Saw some videos as well. Very creative and style work.
Could you share what post work did you do on the photos here, love the tones.
Thanks,

i LOVE this post. such an awesome collection.
Me encanta el toque de cotidianidad que tiene cada toma… Felicidades muy buen trabajo.
These photographs -scratch that- ALL of the images that you guys have been kind enough to show us here on your blog are simply incredible. If I could produce pieces of work that were but a fraction as good as yours is then I would honestly consider myself truly blessed. I have never come across a collection of work that I have found so impressive, and so inspiring. If you guys ever feel like sharing any shooting/processing tips about how you get your shots looking so natural, so soft, and so simply wonderful, then I (and no doubt many others) would be hugely grateful.
Keep on doing what you’re doing, because what you are producing is beautiful.

Bravo! Very nice work.
amazing, it makes me smile.
Great work.
I love the picture with the man with the musical glasses. I’ve seen him ever since I was a little girl. Old town Alexandria is a beautiful place. It’s also my favorite (:
AMAZING! I’ve known the man with the musical wine glasses since I was a little girl. Old Town Alexandria is a beautiful place and also my favorite (:
Felt like being there, with you guys. Thanks for a nice trip.
This stuff breaks my heart, it’s so earnest.
ONE OF THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHY I HAVE EVER SEEN.
LOVE FROM THE Philippines. MJ
Any of this from the bloomington indiana surrounding area?
@JJ Hmm. None of the ones I took. I’ll ask Matt and Ally…
Look at these fucking hipsters.
I think these may be some of the most beautiful pictures ever.
Please post more
This is less Americana than it is pictures of the working class mixed in with a bunch of hipsters.
The negativity of certain comments only says you could never dream of being this good. Duckduck, keep up the amazing work!
they don’t say very much. The quality is good, but they just seem aesthetically trendy. I almost thought this was an urban outfitters shoot. Americana? It is just an elderly person after 3-4 pictures of young hipsters.. Damn you Jack Kerouac! Sorry, I figured someone should leave feedback that is more critical. You’re pictures are good, but they don’t say very much, especially as a whole. You would hands down win the facebook award for best photo album, but as art- not much is said other than…..I have pretty friends, we travel, and I take pictures of “Average” people occasionally, which results in a blue-collar/americana transfer, negating my hipster status.
I thought all the shots were awesome. I really enjoyed the pic of the guy sitting deep in thought with the blues lighter in his hand and the shot of the girl with a transparent veil. Well done all together though.
Great pics! You got some great shots.

peaceful, full of depth, thoughtful,
inspirational
This body of work impresses the importance of quietness, community, and moments of experience. Thank you for the reminder. I am also a practicing artist myself: a printmaker. http://www.artist-listing.com/artist.aspx?username=crowtherm
What’s wrong with being hip?

I see hipsters!
But really awesome photos, seriously.
