" Photographer Alec Soth has called his work &amp;quot;web surfing in the real world&amp;quot;\u2014he finds his subjects by serendipity on his travels around the United States and abroad. For his first major project, he created a portrait of impoverished small towns along the Mississippi River; he has trained the lens of his oversized field camera on tourists at Niagara Falls, young Goth women in Louisiana, and, most recently, monks, survivalists, and other self-imposed social exiles. The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis presents the first museum retrospective of Soth&amp;#039;s 15-year career, with more than 100 photographs of Americans struggling to find a foothold between dignity and desperation.
