Take a ride across the United States. Travel the back roads and visit less scene places as well as the National Parks and landmarks found along the way.
 
"When I talk about Lost on Gray Roads, most people smile and move their head politely in a congratulatory sort of nod. In a few moments the smile will fade a little, and their brows will furrow just a bit, and inevitably the question: "what exactly does that mean"?
 
Being lost is not about losing one's way, but rather the utter pleasure of being nowhere specific. There is something about not being in somewhere that is intensely freeing. This has special significance to me as a photographer. I adore our National Parks, and can't imagine a nobler human endeavor than preserving the crown jewels of our natural world for future generations. National Parks are photographic ecstasy, and some of my photographs in this book are from these very places. But with the Parks, you sort of know what will be there before you even arrive: Waterfalls in Yosemite, Bison in Yellowstone, fall colors in Shenandoah (if you're lucky and have good timing). Beautiful, yet predictable. Being lost is in part the art of finding beauty without a dotted line or a series of trail markers pointing the way. It's a love of not knowing what's around the next bend: A quintessential hay bale, a speeding train or a chicken stand direct from Tyson's farms. Being lost is the ultimate treasure hunt, unbounded by federal protection acts and rangers, unaided by the infinite technological wonders of GPS and Google, and spared from legions of sightseers and tourists. It's a love of being alone and yet and desire to share what I've discovered."
 
Here are some of our favorite images from the book. Please note that all images in the book are available as prints.
