In 1972, self-taught photographer Stephen Shore set out from his native New York City to Amarillo, Texas, on the first of what would become a decade’s worth of road trips across America. Shore’s trademark photographs of middle-American landscapes, interiors, and figures helped establish color photography as an accepted medium in the world of art.

I love how The Honeymooners The Flintstones covered this:

So many years ago, yet so much seems the same. It's an interesting shot of what just looks like normal stuff.

It is a very ordinary scene. Especially when it was taken, less so now. But at the same time the strong perspective and bold colours rescues it from banality. I also enjoy the historical little details like the 25c McDonalds, the gas prices and the cars. As the years go by the "all this was ordinary, once" feeling will get stronger and stronger.

Ah yes, the ever-photogenic stroad.
