ROUTE 66/USA (read more)
Crossing America by car on Route 66 during the Credit Crunch, capturing the afterimage of the 60′s prosperity and exuberance and the everlasting aftermath of the recent crisis, I photographed the eclectic architecture and the people, heart and soul of Route 66. In 1984, the Route was decommissioned and officially disappeared from all maps. Replaced by new Interstate Highways bypassing small towns, taking a bite out of its glamorous lure, it created a great strain for the economy along the old road and its inhabitants.
