Took a few days to get away from the mountains, spending New Years Eve in Santa Fe, NM. Unfortunately not all of the trip was fun and games as my grandmother passed away of complications of Alzheimer's in Oklahoma. We road tripped directly from Santa Fe, to Tulsa, OK; part of our trip took us on Hwy 40, through New Mexico, Texas, and of course Oklahoma. Today's Hwy 40 traces some of the same steps as the Mother Road, Route 66. While stopping for dinner in Shamrock TX, a very good steak house, though the name escapes me, I got a chance to photograph a cool, old Conoco fuel station, reminiscent of what we saw in the movie, Cars. I wonder if it in itself was an inspiration for some of the backdrop in the movie.
In the future, I hope to spend more photographic time traveling Route 66, starting from Chicago, going all the way to California. It will take quite some time to do it properly, I hope to be able to devote at least 3 weeks to the project.
