About the Project & Book
The essence of "I am Route 66" is three-fold. The story is not just about Route 66 the highway. It is about the people along the Road and their humanity. It more than a book or a website and here is how it all works....
The process is simple. The "I am Route 66" team is traveling to locations along Route 66 to organize unique portrait shoots. Participants are asked to complete three sentences: “I am…”, “I regret…” and “Before I die…” on a plain, white piece of paper. That’s followed by a quick, informal portrait session with photographer Jim Livingston.
After the session, each individual’s photo is combined with his or her handwritten answers to create a one-of-a-kind portrait that says so much more than a simple photograph. A digital, printable copy of the image is emailed to each participant after the photos are processed, as our thanks for your participation.
