If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

Andrew Bush: Drive « Previous | |Next »
August 31, 2011

Andrew Bush’s book, Drive, is a book of photographs made while traveling 50 to 70 mph in Los Angeles and other parts of the Southwestern United States.

The culture of cars is an inseparable part of American and Australia life. Whether used for functional purposes or recreation, automobiles are expressions of our personality. They also represent the American and Australian ideals of freedom, mobility, and independence, providing a unique personal space that is at once private and public.

Bush attached a camera to the passenger side window and made these pictures while driving alongside his subjects—often traveling at 60 mph. Taking notes on the speed and direction he was going, Bush created extended captions for the images and called the series Vector Portraits.
