Ghosts of the Road

Not all of Route 66 lives in the cheerful glow of restored neon. There is another story, found in the long shadows of twilight and on the forgotten stretches of pavement. This collection, "Ghosts of the Road," is a journey into that quieter, more contemplative side of the Mother Road. These photographs seek out the soul of the highway in the places left behind - the skeletal remains of a desert motel, the weathered face of a forgotten barn, and the raw, industrial beauty of a decommissioned steel bridge. It is a search for the poignant beauty in decay and a tribute to the memories that haunt the landscape. Each image is a whisper from the past, a portrait of what remains when the traffic, and time, have moved on.

Neon Dreams & Golden Hours

There is a magical time on the Mother Road, a fleeting moment between the harsh light of day and the deep dark of night. It is the hour of the setting sun, when the sky softens to gold and the iconic signs of the highway begin to awaken, one by one, in an electric glow. This collection, "Neon Dreams & Golden Hours," is a celebration of that transformative light. It captures the warm, golden hues that kiss the architecture of a Chicago skyscraper at sunrise and the vibrant, jewel-toned neon of a desert motel sign against a deep indigo sky. Each photograph is a portrait of a roadside beacon, a testament to the enduring allure and optimistic spirit of a bygone era. These images are designed to bring the warmth, color, and classic nostalgia of a perfect evening on the Mother Road into your home.

Automobile Archaeology

The story of Route 66 is written in chrome and rust. To travel its length is to become an archaeologist, excavating the artifacts of America's long love affair with the automobile. This collection, "Automotive Archaeology," is a journey into the soul of the machines that made the Mother Road iconic. Here you will find not just cars, but characters: the skeletal remains of a 1930s sedan returning to the desert dust, the defiant survivor holding court in a Texas ghost town, and the whimsical, custom-built creations that carry the road's spirit into a new era. Each photograph is a portrait of a machine with a story, its personality shaped by the miles, the years, and the endless highway. It is a tribute to the patina of time and the enduring, mechanical heart of the American road trip.

The Open Land

Away from the bustling towns and glowing neon, the true character of Route 66 is revealed in the vast, open land. It's in the spaces in between, where the road becomes a simple line drawn across an endless canvas of prairie, desert, and sky. This collection, "The Open Land," is a meditation on the solitary structures that punctuate this landscape and tell a deeper story of time. Here, classic windmills stand as silent sentinels while their modern descendants turn on the horizon. Historic bridges—studies in rust and geometry—span quiet rivers. And the road itself becomes a powerful graphic element, a fading line that speaks of a million journeys past. Each photograph captures the quiet, contemplative beauty of the American heartland and the dialogue between the man-made and the natural world.
