OverviewIn Not a Good Sign, Don House takes us on a photographic romp through the back roads of his life. Instead of the powerful portraiture and landscape work for which he is best known, in this eclectic mix of mistakes, misspellings, and misplacements, he sets aside his slow, methodical largeformat ways and shoots from the proverbial hip for the pure pleasure of itA[a--aover fifty black-and-white postcards from the road. House sees signs, and especially those that speak louder than intended, as a form of communication with the locals, a little window on the community as he passes through. Shunning the interstates gives House the opportunity to cruise the back roads as part of his normal work-a-day routine. Mostly shot in the South andMidwest, it becomes, for us, an album of a region, in concentric circles around his beloved Arkansas home. Never mocking, only smiling, he calls his back roads choice an expression of love, really, and we, the readers, get a little glimpse of that love affairA[a--afrom duck pluckers to fat hogsA[a--aweA[a--a[re riding shotgun, windows down, hair blowing, camera ready, always ready.
