Route 66 Roadscapes

Route 66 Roadscapes: Stories Through The Lens showcases a curated collection of photographs and road trip narratives from photographer and author Jay Farrell. His spirit of wanderlust and deliberate execution is evident in every photograph and perspective-driven story.

Between 2022 and 2024, Farrell embarked on several Historic Route 66 photography road trips, meticulously backtracking and revisiting certain sites to capture the perfect photo at just the right moment, bringing his vision to life. He embraces the freedom of the great American road trip, traveling with his trusty Leica camera and only the essentials in tow.

Farrell's inspiration for exploring the Mother Road lies in its independent businesses, rich history, nostalgic charm, and diverse landscapes-all waiting to be documented through his lens. Readers are invited to join him in the passenger seat for this carefully crafted series of Route 66 excursions.

Experience the forgotten ruins and abandoned antique cars from a bygone era, overtaken by tumbleweeds and the elements. The enduring classic neon signs, a few memorable surprises slightly off the beaten path, and vibrant nighttime long exposure photography all contribute to this thoughtfully assembled collection.
