I was born in a small town that Highway 61 ran through.

As a child traveling with my family, we would drive it to visit relatives, to go to

the county fair, to Fourth of July and memorial day parades, the harvest festival.

Of course, as a child, I wasn’t thinking, oh this is Highway 61.

    It is also the nature of photography that you are witness to something: a moment, a place, or a time that has already passed.

    In the book I am photographing something that is lost.

  • I can’t tell you how many times I did that drive over the last ten years. I would drive from my house in New Orleans up to my cabin in Minnesota, and I would be going really slowly.  I would really just drift up and down that highway. If you were driving straight through it would be a couple of days but if you’re pulling off into a field because you see something, because the light is right, or because somebody catches your eye, or your drive down main street and you see somebody and you end up spending an hour or so talking to them then, you know, it slows you down.
