ROAD TRIP PHOTOGRAPHY - AMERICANA

FINE ART PHOTO BOOK OF THE AMERICAN ROAD TRIP

Quote from a review by C. McConnell in Canada

“these (images) are an artist’s reflections on the experience of traveling relatively obscure highways with an open mind and an eloquent eye”.

Roadside Meditations is a subtle reflection on the natural and sometimes mundane beauty of this vast country. Like his famous predecessors in road trip photography, Hammer’s images speak about the freedom to be on the road, about the educational, transformative and meditative character of the time spent traveling.

Hammer’s intuitive and nuanced photographs can be read as metaphors for the human psyche. At the same time, they are candidly capturing the passing of time reflected in the manmade structures within the landscape. Like a road trip, the sequence of images lines up to become a road itself, on which the viewer’s eye travels and experiences the inimitable American landscape both in its timelessness and bearing the signs of the 21st century.
