The neon stretches for miles intersected by concrete dinosaurs, kitschy gift shops, classic diners, and Muffler men; in 66, I seek to capture these cultural icons of America’s most famous bypassed highway. By documenting these roadside attractions, I look to show this unique culture that has come to create and inhabit the history of the highway while developing an understanding of this long-standing tradition of the American road trip.
