Roadside Meditations
A 12 year photographic study of the American roadside
Over the course of 12 years, I drove hundreds of thousands of miles across the United States photographing places most people pass without seeing. Empty intersections. Motels, storefronts, quiet landscapes, and stretches of road that exist somewhere between use and abandonment.
These are not landmarks or destinations. They’re the edges of towns, the spaces between cities, the places that rarely hold attention for more than a few seconds through a windshield. But over time, those moments began to accumulate — revealing a quieter, more honest portrait of the country.
There’s a rhythm to the roadside. Repetition, subtle variation, long stretches of sameness interrupted by something unexpected. Light shifts, buildings fade, signs weather and disappear. What remains is a landscape in constant transition, shaped as much by absence as by presence.
This work is not about the destination. It’s about everything in between.
