Oli Kellett has shot this charming series of photographs of US street signs, which reveal a high instance of streets that are almost, but not quite, named after British towns and cities...

More of Kellett's work can be viewed online at olikellett.com.

Interesting approach. But I really think that street signs aren't special, the connection to the UK is what makes these photographies special. Nice (;

Heee. Funniness. My husband is a Kentuckian and believe me, there's some specialness in ol' Kentuck when it comes to place names. There's a Versailles there but it is, OF COURSE, pronounced VUR-SALES. Etc., etc.

... But does he know the way to Amarillo?

Actually there are much more evocative photos on his website that show off his brilliant use of light.
Have a look at the milk carton shot, the birds and the waiting room chairs under this link. http://www.olikellett.com/#/client/template.xml?aaa=portfolio/38340

No I'm not his agent ;-)

Nice project and idea and really worth having a look at Oli's other work as well - amusing and humourous, particularly the 'information' section - I like it :-)
