In the last few weeks, Studiobrian of Chicago has set up a Route 66 blog to highlight the photographs he’s taken along the Mother Road, which he has Photoshopped nicely into art-quality images.

the artwork here was inspired from my travels along route 66…I assume that those who find their way to this site will also have a fondness for all things route 66…for those who have not traveled the old route it is hard to describe what it means and how it feels to do so…and for those who have, it’s more than just stepping back in time…in some ways I think it is about discovering who we are as a society; where we came from, how we got here and even a bit of what it means to be an american…so many of the things we take for granted have their roots here…we are a society built around a relationship with the car…if the pioneers were the infancy, then our parents came of age on route 66 and the rest is history…our collective history…they say you can’t go home again, but no one said you couldn’t visit…and I’m always ready for another visit…
…thanks for finding your way to my blog…I’ve always enjoyed your informative insight regarding the old road…I look forward to crossing paths somewhere where the concrete is pink…
