    The more of these roadside parks I saw, the more inspired I became - there were tables shaded by faux oil rigs, teepees and wagon wheels, and geometric shapes echoing classic mid-century design. I decided to do a little research on these stops and immediately found out the alarming news. All over the country, rest areas were being closed, and some demolished. Many felt that they were no longer necessary with so many fast food restaurants and travel centers.

    Upon learning the news, I immediately felt an urgency that I needed to capture as many as I could before they were gone forever. When interstate highways were first built, passing up many small towns, rest stops were a way to reconnect people to the places they were traveling though. They gave small towns a chance to show their cultural significance. Rest areas have become relics of America's roadside past. These sites not only illustrate a unique period in the American travel experience, but are significant for the architectural forms found within them. Soon after I started this project, it became clear that this was more than just a photo series.

    These rest stops are an important part of American history that need to be archived before they're lost forever. It became my dream to shoot as many as I could before they're lost and to compile them into a book that truly showcases what these rest areas have to offer. I envision a beautiful, over-sized, full-color, hardcover coffee table book filled with breathtaking images, approximately pages, 75 images. The book would also begin with a historical textual essay. From the beginning, I knew that I wanted the quality of the images to be unmatched - I also wanted a medium that was true to the nostalgia of the subject.

    In today's digital world, one of the unique aspects of the project is that all of the images were shot on a medium-format film camera. Film is a lost art in itself that produces extremely high-resolution images with supreme tonal range and color. We are offering a great selection of rewards, everything from one-of-a-kind Polaroids, to amazing experiences, to of course, the book itself! You will receive an invitation to the book launch party here in Austin, TX, and your name will be listed as a donor on the book website.

    You will also receive my deepest gratitude and know that you are helping preserve America's history! Receive an original , one-of-a-kind signed Polaroid that was actually taken on one of my road trips, at an actual rest stop. This is not a digital reproduction - this is an original , actual Polaroid straight out of the back of my Mamiya RZ medium-format camera.

    A great souvenir from the road! You will receive a beautiful 8. You can choose from any of the 20 images on my website.
