Day 26: Tallahassee, Florida to Savannah, Georgia
May 26, 2008
We depart Tallahassee around morning time (7AM) and drive on I-10 East into the sunrise. The day is a beautiful one; blue skies, warm temps, welcoming air; a feeling of summer.
Matthew Gamber is the photographer we’re visiting this afternoon. He speaks well about his work and is an all-around good guy.

After our interview, Matthew returns to where he teaches, the Savannah College of Art and Design, for his class’s final critique.
We realize that there is a small but unsafe tear and bubble in the right passenger-side tire of Ethan’s car. We stop at a Firestone Tire and they tell us the tire needs to be replaced but that they do not have the specific tire, a 195 - 50 - 16, in stock.
Not able to wait a day or two for the tires to come in, we call around town and thankfully Tires Plus has 4 of the specific tires in their warehouse that can be put on tomorrow morning.
We head back to SCAD after Matthew’s critique finishes and he gives us a tour of the college’s modern facilities.
We catch up in the evening with two good friends, Joos and Hayley, who Ethan and I met at the Maine Media Workshops. Joos is finishing his MFA thesis at SCAD and Hayley is finishing her BFA. We eat pizza, laugh a whole lot, talk about our trip and Joos’ epic t-shirts, and sleep at their amazingly-styled apartment. Thanks for having us, guys.
