David Campany compiles a photographic boulevard of broken dreams
running from the Swiss immigrant Robert Frank’s nomadic
portraits of 1950s stragglers to the sinister 21st century
manipulations of the team Taiyo Onorato and Nico Krebs, who

By the end, you'll feel as if you've been in the passenger seat for
a page-by-page road trip of a lifetime. –Los Angeles Times

car window as a literal frame—and its pioneering attitude. – The
Wall Street Journal
