For the past three years, I’ve lived out of my car to travel America solo with my dog. 

Each day I looked at a map and headed out to an unknown destination. I wasn’t attracted to mundane tourist attractions. Instead, I was drawn to everyday Americans simply living their lives. I took daily portraits of people I randomly encountered at campsites, rest stops, bingo halls, their home, or wandering around town.  Each stop had its own unique population of “Americana” personalities.  Relying on my distinct personal aesthetic, I would instantly recognize my perfect stranger to photograph.  In that moment of paths crossing, I would take their portrait.
