In 1999, Chicago-based writer Tim Steil and photographer Jim Luning embarked on a trip together down Route 66 to collect material that produced an excellent book, “Route 66.”
Steil also wrote an online journal during the trip, which I recommend you read.
Steil and Luning are returning to the Mother Road next month, on the 10th anniversary of that initial trip. They want to revisit Route 66 and film a documentary, including posting “Webisodes” along the way. Here’s a teaser video about the upcoming project:
It’s funny … a discussion sprang up just a few days ago on the Route 66 yahoogroup about how there’d been almost no new films or DVDs in the past 10 years about Route 66. Maybe this project will rectify that.
