Back-road America: Knights in Rusting
Armor
This is disappearing America. The lunch
bucket values, the blue collar sacrifices of families that were willing to save
and work each day with unshakable pride and determination.
When you look at the photographs by Mark
Zurek, you are immediately pulled back to your childhood memories. Trips down
the road.
They are great photographs of cars,
trucks, motorbikes. Different perspectives: all weather, every light condition.
Awed by their stature, architecture and graceful lines, they rest in a place of
honor... Mark calls them “Noble Beauties”!
Intermingled with the old, is some new:
photographs of Mark’s recent visit to Cuba. Each photograph tells a unique
story. A story about man and machine, life and love.
