Travel Suburbia

A celebration of strip mall sameness and commercial sprawl in low-resolution color. The most widely available point-and-shoot (and sometimes disposable) cameras of the time captured these exotic images that require a keen eye and an appreciation for discounted convenience. This project was partly inspired by sweltering August days of my youth, shuffling across molten blacktop in a crowded parking lot so I could try on heavy back-to-school jeans that stuck to my sweaty legs.
