This summer, Hamtramckan Chris Schneider and myself explored several midwestern states, to photograph the small towns and rural landscapes of the often-overlooked American heartland. Partially funded by a grant from Detroit’s Red Bull House of Art, we visited eight states, and stopped in over 50 towns.

Follow along with Roy Feldman and Chris Schneider as they go on a photographic exploration of the Midwest and Plains States. They will be posting Polaroid photographs taken along the way on our Instagram account. Search the hashtag #RibbonofHighway to view them all.
