On the Road

When we’re not working in a corporate office, we’re clamoring to hop in the car and head somewhere, ANYwhere–day or night, sweltering or sub-zero, near or far, sometimes very far. There is no building too forbidden, farmhouse too remote or road too meandering. Each location is a mini adventure unto itself with stories that need to be shared.

Embracing the Abandoned

Crawling inside a room coated in grime, cobwebs and perhaps a little animal excrement won’t stop our curiosity. There’s nothing like the rush you get the second you know it’s just you in there…or at least the squatters are keeping quiet! Suddenly you realize several hours have passed and you have only scratched the surface.

Loving the Kitsch

The plastic icing on the fiberglass cake of urban and rural exploration is stumbling upon a road trip oddity or finally visiting one we heard about only to discover that it truly is THAT odd!! America’s road freaks become our friends away from home. Hoping, of course, that they aren’t one day dismantled and disappear forever.

This past December we self-published our first book, Polaroid Photos from Route 66. It’s been such an quick and exciting process, and we are ecstatic over how it turned out! The book contains about 275 Polaroid photos and a couple dozen of Chris’s personal stories about his experiences traveling the Mother Road. We plan to take a grassroots book tour this spring/summer to talk to fellow Route 66 fans about the book, as well as the future of the road. We can’t wait to visit everyone in person! Check out the book’s page for more details and to order the book. A special thanks goes out to all of our friends and family who have been such an incredible support through this entire process!
