But among the monster fish, donut shaped restaurants,
cowboy boot restrooms, Teepee motels, and airplane-topped
gas stations, David Graham has mined the oddity of roadside
attractions, the spectacle of parades and celebrations,
and the character of Americans at home and at play-
and in doing so discovered tension and uncertainty where
others have only found excess and drama.
For more than twenty years he has been recording the
scenes of a mobile America looking for meaning at the
crossroads of kitsch and culture, past and present,
and fantasy and reality - and has indeed given us a
portrait of a country that refuses to fit, like himself,
into neat categories.
