The journey began in the mysterious wetlands of the Deep South, and will continue up through the Appalachian Mountains and north along the Atlantic Coast. From there he will travel into the countryside of New England, down into the Rust Belt and abandoned industries of the Northeast, then into America’s Heartland in search of farms and smalltown life. In the following years, Holt will make his way west, seeking out the Wild Mustangs and iconic cowboys and ranchers of Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana, then spend his summer in Alaska in search of a vanishing frontier wilderness.

The images he brings back will be both beautiful and shocking as we are shown man’s encroachment on nature, nature’s changing ecosystems, and our own forgotten cultural icons.

Articles, photo essays, books, Fine Art gallery exhibitions, and a documentary will be forthcoming.
 

The things that make America wonderful, fun, beautiful, and exciting… the very things that we cherish in our lives, are in danger of vanishing forever.

Over the next 5 years Holt will drive an ecologically-friendly motor home, powered by Vegetable Oil and Solar Energy, around the United States documenting and publishing images and stories of American treasures that could be lost to us during our lifetimes.

“America is changing fast. And, sometimes change is good. But sometimes change destroys the things we love about our country. Hopefully these images, and the ones that will follow as I travel across the United States, will remind people how precious, how ephemeral, and how important these aspects of our country and our culture are."
