For me the ultimate holiday is the American road trip which is always an adventure filled with excitement, mystery, beauty wonder and the unexpected. With Camera and notebook it is a journey on many levels including that of self discovery.

This photo was taken in a Motel in Front Royal, Virginia. It was my first road trip and I was driving back from New York City to Kansas City, Via D.C. and I was looking forward to driving in the Appellation Mountains the next day.

In the Motels Part Two photo essay.

    Very cool, I've always wanted to do something like that but never had a chance...

    A great shot: the text on the screen fits the subject perfectly, the scene is tidy and visually pleasing with its lighting and various rectangular shapes and restricted use of colour. I also like the subjective point of view. The supplied information provides an interesting supplement to the image, but it more than holds its own without words. In short: I like it...

    all joking aside, i'm glad you took your camera (and your imaginative creativity using it) with you on your trips.
    thanks for sharing.
