What do aging beauty queens, modern day cowboys, aliens, and Roy Rogers all have in common? Route 66.Photographer Wes Pope's book, Pop 66 is comprised of amazing photographs made entirely by pinhole cameras (camera obscura) constructed from pop cans. This technique, more than a century old, helped the author create a dreamy and surreal visual narrative for his adventures along America's legendary Route 66. "Perhaps this is the best way to photograph a road trip. The images are blurred and distorted, just like memories. And the sequence conveys something like the America of our dreams."- Claire O'Neill / NPR"The iconic Route 66 is this peculiar accumulation that wasn't planned. It was lots of different people, each working away at their American Dream, dotting an almost endless stretch of two-lane highway. The end result is not what any one person would have ever imagined. Utility poles and broken-down concrete. The boarded up dreams of Mom and Pop castles. All put together, these little pieces add up to create the American Parthenon. And so I hope it goes with these photos. You plan and plan and then you pull the little flap and see what happens."- Wes Pope
