The plan
After traveling the backbone of America for 6 weeks, we’re now in the midst of developing our film and publishing a book of our photographs (film only) and awesome adventures. If anyone knows a decent publisher, holla at us.
The players
Mary and Valerie…and any other strange hitchhiker they pick up at midnight on a dark and lonely road.
The goal
To make art and live life.
The medium
Photography. We will have a digital camera on file to upload images immediately, but both of us use film cameras primarily. Everything from standard 35mm SLRs to twin lens to Holga and other toy cameras. We love film and the results it produces. Besides, it just seems fitting photographing Americana and all her dying glory with a medium that is slowly being phased out for the newer, faster product.
For anyone who couldn’t catch that last part: digital is to film, what the interstate is to the highways/route system
If anyone has places we should stop or interesting/weird/eccentric sites for us to see, please shoot us an email! We’d love to hear about it!

I’m not sure what your route is, but my dorm has an open couch if you’re anywhere near Hartford.

If we end up in Connecticut, though we are not currently planning to visit it on this trip, then we would love a spot on that couch.

Be interesting to see if we were in the same place at the same time……will be doing bit of Pacific Coast highway after Route 66 then whatever route takes our fancy back to Chicago – so a LONG way!

Haha that would be wild! We’re both really interested in wandering around Arizona and New Mexico, so I think we’ll be doing the southern route first, winding up the PCH1 (like yourselves) and then if we have time, going back on the old Lincoln highway to Chicago. We’ll be putting together a definitive route soon and will post it as soon as we have it figured out.
