DESCRIPTION

In Abandoned Vehicles of New Hampshire: Rust in Peace, renowned illustrator and photographer, Jerry LoFaro, takes us on an inspiring photographic journey through the wilds of New Hampshire as he uncovers the automotive relics of a not-too-distant past.

It’s a breathtaking, peaceful, and sometimes sobering look at the remains of a wide variety of cars, trucks and buses that are both enhanced and softened by nature’s blanket. What began for the author as purely an exploration of color and dramatic abstract compositions slowly and unexpectedly evolved into a very personal odyssey as he shares stories and humor about his own history and family.

To take it a step further, music, art and cinematic references abound enrich the photos in a surprising and entertaining fashion. This approach is further accented by the words of many notable musicians, artists, and others who were invited to contribute captions to the images in the author’s “added bonus” approach to the subject matter.

An unusual and creatively imagined book on rusty stuff, readers will enjoy finding a few extra “thrills and shocks.” Step inside!
