Uniquely Kentucky with Amber Philpott | Jay Farrell, Author

In this episode of Uniquely Kentucky we are exploring the back roads of Eastern Kentucky through the eyes of a Nashville based photographer.  Jay Farrell is a self-proclaimed urban and rural explorer who not only photographs, but also writes about what he says are forgotten corners of the Americana.  Farrell is the author of a series of books entitled, Abandoned.  He has written 12 books, three of which focus of Kentucky including his latest entitled Abandoned Eastern Kentucky.  

I think all of us have probably driven down the road, saw a house or building falling in and wondered about its history, why it was left to the elements and those questions are exactly what draws Farrell in closer to try and figure out why it's abandoned.  In this episode we talk about why he loves venturing off the beaten path and why this Nashville photographer loves Kentucky.
