Chuma Ukegbu for Austin, TX

Chuma stopped by the Airstream early during our time in Austin. A new Austin resident, he showed us around town, taught us how to ride the Austin bus, and shared about how the "average joe" lifestyle represents the theme "red, white and blue.”

 

Harry Cabluck for Austin, TX

Harry had quite the career in photography. We met him on the first day of our Austin stop and were thrown a bookshelf worth of darkroom and photography knowledge over our stay. Here’s a look into Harry’s world as he shoots on the theme “red, white and blue.”

 

Jeremy Lindenfeld for Los Angeles, CA

Jeremy first met us in Salt Lake City, UT. A friendly guy with a great attitude and his own road trip stories to share, Jeremy shot a roll for us and continued on his way through America. Coincidentally, however, over the next four weeks, we would run into Jeremy in three more cities.

 

Evalyn Bemis for Santa Fe, NM

Evalyn graciously welcomed us to her home a bit outside of Santa Fe. We got to spend a beautiful morning hearing her story, running her horses and of course taking pictures.

 

Jose Chavez for Los Angeles, CA

Spend the day exploring Los Angeles as Jose Chavez takes us around town showing us what "red, white, and blue" means to him.
