Title
American Highway Project
Description
Founder Edgar G. Praus is a long time professional photographer and artist with a love of the open road and the American landscape. Travelling back roads by choice, he can’t help but notice that the quaint, vernacular architecture and home-spun roadside attractions that he loves are rapidly disappearing. Expanding chain stores, strip malls and gentrified, homogenized architecture are taking over the modern roadside. Interstate highways diminish the business prospects of historic – and fun – tourist traps, motels and attractions. With that in mind, Edgar set about photographing these important American treasures.
Through the not-for-profit American Highway Project, Edgar is able to share his love for subject matter with a wider audience, and, in a small way, serve as a voice for preservation and resource for study. Fellow photographers suggestions and correspondence are welcome. He invites you to support the AHP’s ongoing efforts. But even more so, Edgar encourages you to avoid the interstates and revisit the backroads and the wonder of the American Highway.
