The magazine of the photo-essay
August 2019 back issue
Somewhere Along the Line
“A free, really high quality photo-essay magazine. Fabulous!”
Stephen Fry. British actor, writer and film maker
From 2011 to 2017 Joshua Dudley Greer traveled over 100,000 miles by
car, focusing his camera on the massive network of superhighways that
has become ubiquitous throughout the United States. Rather than moving
quickly through these spaces he made the decision to slowly and
deliberately dwell within them, looking at the road as a stage where
narratives play out and opposing forces often intersect. The boundaries
that line these roadways, whether real or imagined, are examined by
looking at the separations between public and private space, privilege and
need, the individual and the collective, and the countervailing ideas of
home and escape.

The resulting compilation of photographs depicts the state of America’s infrastructure as a physical manifestation of its
economic, social and environmental circumstances in unforeseen moments of humor, pathos and humanity.
