Synopsis

After two decades in Paris, Jeff Dunas returned to the US in 1993 and set out on the first of many trips crisscrossing the country to photograph scenes representative of the small-town America that he remembered from his youth in the 1960s. His goal was to create an archive of images that recalled that turbulent era.

Review:

"Photographer Jeff Dunas has an eye for the appealingly unglamorous remnants of small-town America, from vintage signage to Detroit's former king-of-the-road chrome-heavy cars." -- Elisa Turner --The Miami Herald

"The author reveals a decade of fascinating photographs taken on his many trips across the United States in search of the small town ideal, capturing ordinary people living out the American dream all over the country." --Forecast
