  • THE END OF THE ROAD

    Thanks to the incredible generosity of over 40 supporters, we have reached our goal.

    We're confident that our recent trips to Indiana, California and New Jersey, which were funded by that generosity, have helped us complete our Lincoln Highway project in a more meaningful and complete way and that we now have an even more moody and eclectic group of pictures that say,"this is one wild and crazy country--take a look!"

    Next we will tightly edit this most recent group of photos and weave them into the already existing narrative, then self-publish a prototype book in hopes that we can hook a real publisher in time for the Lincoln Highway's 100th anniversary in two years. 

    Again, thanks so much for everyone's encouragement with this project. We have dedicated a good part of the last fourteen years to photographing along the Lincoln Highway and it is gratifying to know that there is support, and support in many forms, for something that is so dear to our hearts.

    To take a look at some of the photos from these recent trips, go to:
