The road trip is as American a tradition as democracy, apple pie, and deep-fried everything. Ever since cars became an attainable commodity, people have been stuffing their friends and family into the ride and seeking out adventure. "The Open Road" turns the road trip into a photographic genre, collecting images from famed shutterbugs like Robert Frank, Garry Winogrand, Alec Soth, and more. Including an introduction that focuses on American obsession with the road, the book is a great addition to the library of any lover of Americana and fine art.
