An essay for a symposium in Houston in 2001 began my involvement with the cultural life of freeways. A fellowship from the Institute for the Humanities is funding the writing; grants from the UIC Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research has enabled me to travel and photograph. The color photographs were made with small high-resolution digital cameras (a Nikon CoolPix 5000 and a Leica Digilux); the black-and-white pictures were made with the Kodak Master View 8x10 camera.
