What began as cultural        geography of Main Streets became a visual                       critique of the myth of  upward mobility that                     created this car-centered, paved-over universe.        Some images look outward to the edges of                       suburbia where sprawl is  encroaching upon                        nature.  Others turn inward, documenting the         devastated inner cities. All the stunning color                  photographs reflect the  complex beauty and  desolation of visual life in our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJeff Brouws \u003c\/b\u003eis a fine art photographer and part-time writer who has nine books to his credit, authoring five on railroad photography alone.
