“Americana” – A Black & White Photography Series

Captured during a 2024 road trip across the U.S.

“Americana” is a visual time capsule — a series of black and white photographs that distill the soul of the American landscape and spirit. Shot over the course of a 2024 road trip that spanned deserts, diners, ghost towns, neon-lit motels, and forgotten roadside relics, this collection captures the quiet poetry of everyday life across the United States.

By stripping away color, each image invites you to focus on texture, light, and the timeless quality of the scenes — grainy asphalt under wide skies, weathered signage hinting at histories long passed, portraits of strangers caught in a moment of stillness or motion. These photographs explore the spaces between nostalgia and now, documenting a country both rooted and restless.

“Americana” is not just a look back at what America was — it’s a meditation on what it continues to be, told through the lens of a traveler chasing stories in shadows and silhouettes.
