"For his book and exhibition project 'On the road too', Dutch artist Peter Spaans (Amsterdam, 1953) drove with his American friend Dan Schmidt new York, 1957) 6,700 miles (11,000 kilometers) from New York City to Las Vegas and back to New York City in just 19 days. They decided that they would travel as much as possible on older National highways and on State roads rather than on the Eisenhower Interstate Highway System. They knew that such a journey would afford them views of cities and towns, as well as of rural America, that one would not see from the Interstate Highways. Peter Spaans made 11,000 photographs during this trip." - from http://unconart.com/ONTHEROAD/ontheroadtoo.html
