March 2026

In March of 2026, I was hired by Winslow Studio to help document the historic “ghost signs” of Route 66 as part of a grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

For the 100th anniversary of the renown drive, Craig Winslow and I went from Chicago to St Louis visiting as much of the historic route as we could, photographing and documenting the locations of each sign we found.

In total we noted 148 hand panted or neon signs and captured over 300 gigabytes worth of high-resolution imagery which will be used to preserve the history of these sites as they continue to age.
