icons of the highway a celebration of small town america

Very Good in Very Good jacket Tony and Eva Worobiec once again take to the road to create a beautiful photographic essay about an America that's fast fading away. Often when we think of the United States, we remember the things that once set it apart visually: the flamboyant oversized cars, ubiquitous diners, bright neon lighting, large city hotels that figured so prominently in Hopper paintings, and the once-uniquely American motel. Sadly, these are now in steady decline. In this collection of outstanding images, the Worobiecs capture the magic that remains, on journeys ranging from the far north-the High Line at the Canadian border-across the high plains to the desert towns of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. The casinos, remnants of movie palaces, burger shacks, and roadside sculptures all evoke a once-glorious past. Tony Worobiec studied Fine Art at The University of Newcastle upon Tyne and spent 18 years as head of a large design faculty in Dorset. He has won awards for photography in the UK and internationally, and has had work exhibited in London's Barbican Gallery, The Independent Photographers Gallery, The Fox Talbot Museum and Bradford's National Museum of Photography and The Menier Gallery London. He is a founder member and past chairman of the prestigious Arena group of photographers. Tony regularly writes articles for photographic magazines both here in the UK and America.
