Description
Award-winning fine art photographer and digital media artist, Jack Knox, creates a culmination of eight years of photographing along the uncountable back roads of the great state of Texas. Divided into seven categories, one for each region of the state, this selection of photographs features antiquated theaters, gas stations, cars, barns, boats, farmhouses, and more, with a focus on the beautiful rust and decay that will eventually consume so many of these majestic icons from our past.
