If I Was a Highway - Michael Ventura - Bog

In this collection, its title borrowed from a Butch Hancock song, the essays switch lanes with Hancock's evocative black-and-white photographs. Slowing down to take notice of a makeshift shrine in the Texas Panhandle or zipping along the New York Thruway before dawn, Venturac aptures the details that make us think profoundly about work, music, poverty, and beauty.
