It’s morning time again, shortly after 10:30AM. We have departed Rochester and are cruising along I-90 heading West to see our first photographer, Matt Eich.

Last night we had the pleasure of catching up with old friends and our superb team: Suzy, our editorial director; Eric at Booksmart Studio, our publisher; Josh Gomby, our graphic designer. Videos will be coming soon from the opening of “Seventeen”, an exhibit of the artwork from the fourth year fine-art photography students at the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Back to the present…

Cat Power’s sweet, weathered voice is playing through the speakers of Ethan’s yellow-jacket colored Mazda Protege. Right now the odometer reads 71,979 miles. By the end our trip it will have surpassed 82,000; an addition of over 10,000 miles in one month’s time.

The grass between the thruway is a heavily saturated green dotted with yellow buttercups and daffodils rising from the earth. Our breakfast has been a healthy one to fuel us for the road: three homemade chocolate chip cookies (thanks, Mom!) and water from our Nalgenes.
