Hurry Up and Wait: The Lonesome World of Truck Drivers

Image

“Hurry Up and Wait” is a photographic essay by artists James Tribble and Tracey Mancenido-Tribble, a poetic meditation about America’s trucking culture. With the long tradition of road photography in mind, the Tribbles spent over a year driving across the states as truck drivers. Their journey is documented here in photographs that range from portraits of drivers they encountered, to shots from the open road, in a year-long effort to understand the subculture that literally drives America’s consumerism. The photographs illuminate both the openness of the road and it’s lonesome journey, with images that bring new light to the harsh beauty in the world of a truck driver.

This piece includes a number of wonderful high-resolution color photographs, a slide show and Kris Kristofferson's music video, “This Old Road.”
