Andrew Bush: Photos at 66/65 MPH

There are three universal laws of driving: 1. The driver picks the music. 2. It always takes less time to come home than it does to get where you’re going. And 3. When you are behind the wheel of your car you are totally invisible.

People picking their noses, people singing aloud, people chewing gum, people kissing one another careening through intersections. If you’re motoring, you’ve got a complete pardon from the judge of social norms.

Andrew Bush’s 66 Drives captures this sentiment perfectly, and places it within the 1990’s Southwestern US to juice the novelty appeal. The colors are beautiful, a spectrum of browns and oranges that only exist in Los Angeles, and his titles would make a thesaurus blush: Man ambling, women fleeing, continuing, drifting, throttling … so many different ways to describe a temporary state of existence, going from one place to another.

The notion of things moving quickly, captured forever in their blurred state, is also explored by LVHRD constant photographer Eric Luc. His Trees at 65mph series substitutes the strong personalities of LA with a restless expanse of midwest fauna.

For even more on the matter, there is the documentation of an entire drive across the United States:

So much art coming from the same area. Do you have anything you’ve made about the act of traveling?
