The life of a trucker is not glamorous; however, there is something about the solitude of being on the open road all day that some find fascinating.
For husband-and-wife photographers James Tribble and Tracey Mancenido, that fascination is enough to compel them to give the life of a trucker a try, and document their experience along the way.
The result is a series of genuinely breathtaking photos that really capture the sometimes lonely late-nights and eerie early mornings that the life of a trucker holds. The series will premiere on September 9th, 2010 at the Sasha Wolf Gallery in NYC.
