Photographer Brian Bowen Smith's 11,000-mile journey across the country to document Americans during the pandemic
A few years ago, Brian Bowen Smith got a treasured gift from a dying man named Bob. It was his 1958 Ford F-100, now affectionately named Pearl. Smith and some friends are now zigzagging across the country, traveling from Los Angeles to New York and back, snapping photos of what America looks like during the pandemic. Having overcome many hurdles, Smith is sure Bob is watching them.
Along the way, he photographed famous faces like Common, Reese Witherspoon and the blended family of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, but also captured the spirit and soul of everyday Americans.
THE PROJECT:
Brian explains his project on Kickstarter.com
Publishing a fine art photography book is no small task but having published 2 books already, I am up to the challenge.

I'm currently working with a great publisher and although we are in the beginning stages of pre-production, during these uncertain times, every effort will be made to have this book completed by December 2020.
