For 8 years (from 1989 to 1997) the "co-pilot" of American Andrew Bush was a camera. He firmly settled in the passenger seat and, under the noise, took pictures of motorists on the right along the course. The resulting photographs in the car show how not only the products of the global automotive industry have changed, but also its owners.
St. Louis native Andrew Bush started the extraordinary photography project at 33, finished at 41. Now 55, he lives in Los Angeles and is reaping the benefits of his long travels, participating in various exhibitions. His works are now kept in galleries in London, Paris, Chicago, New York. It seems that a long time ago, a professional photographer who graduated from Yale University realized that human character can be discerned at any speed - and set off on a journey to the land of photography.
In the car, traveling at a speed of about 96 kilometers per hour and braking at traffic lights, the process of photographing never stopped. This is how a series of creative photographs in a car called "Vector Portraits" was born. It seems that the cars in the pictures are not moving, and only a blurred background and captions under the photos can convince you otherwise.
Perhaps all motorists consider their car their fortress (or at least a small apartment). And they do not expect an invasion of their personal possessions and personal life. Well, who would think of looking into someone else's windows or taking pictures of someone else's square on wheels when you need to follow the track? But come on, there are connoisseurs of both.
The driving photos were mostly taken in California. Andrew Bush says that cities like Los Angeles have a unique "ecosystem" - autocentric. And you can't tell who is really the boss: a man or his car. Driving in a car is like walking around the city with headphones: you are focused on yourself and have little interest in your neighbors. Andrew Bush's Travel Photo Project is an attempt to get in touch with those who are not going to contact you at all.
All original photographs were taken in daylight, so the "victims" did not suspect anything: the flash looked like a sun glare and did not attract too much attention. However, there were also manifestations of tacit consent or disapproval, and even the pursuit of an unlucky photographer. What to do, art requires sacrifice!

The statistics are strict and ruthless: since mobile phones became so available that iPhones are even in the briefcases of first-graders, more and more accidents have occurred precisely because of the general "mobilization".

They are sure that they can type and send an answer in a couple of seconds, and during this time nothing terrible will happen. Alas, they are often osh
