As a traveler on slow roads, I was partuicularly taken by the photographs of David Eustace. A Scottish photographer, he drove the length of Highway 50 from San Francisco to Ocean City, Maryland. Along the way he made 50 portraits of the ordinary people he encountered along the way. Take a look at David's portfolio. Be suree and watch the video interview also.
David's work has inspired me to begin my own "character project" on my next US Route 89 road trip. I've done a few portraits along the way but I think it will be a human face to the places along 89 to include more people along side the landscapes. Here's a shoot of the barbecue cook at the Cowboy's Smokehouse Café in Panguitch, Utah, that I made last summer.
