American Safari 1999

During the summer of 1999, an English writer, Joe Patch, and I, an American photographer, drove over 15,000 miles along with Louis Baker, Joes son and an Australian boxer. Together in a Jeep Wrangler, we traveled the country in search of people and places that would make our trip into what we had hoped, a safari into American culture. During these three months on the road, we met people from all walks of life and a vast number of cultures. We hope these images and words will express what we found, our diversity as a nation and the kindness and sense of community that was predominate. Our positive experience offers up the opposite to the negative picture of American society painted by our countries news media.

All images were captured using Kodak and Fuji color reversal film.

Our sincere thanks to all who helped us along the way. Your kindness and hospitality was most appreciated.

I myself am a budding photographer and I must say that your uses of contrast, proportion and angles are simply inspiring! You have a similar technique to mine but your photos have meaning and my photos seem lifeless compared to yours, jolly good show old bean! I mostly do macro photography though so I don't think you'll have any competition! Wonderful photos, a couple of them may need slight modifications but over all your message is clear and your pictures are outstanding. Merry Christmas!

Your dad and I were next door neighbors in Palm Desert this winter. When he sent me his Recollection of the Desert 2005, he also sent me your web site which I have just begun to browse. One image that really caught my eye was the lightning bolt. We spent 10 years in Nebraska and now live in Oklahoma so we occasionally see images like this one but never captured on film. I really look forward to browsing through all your albums. Bill
