A Trucker’s View of the Open Road
– Jim Wirth
I received the latest issue of JPG Magazine the other day, and was very impressed by the photos taken by long-haul trucker Paul Tarin, who is better known in the photo sharing community as “Slimeface.” Paul has been a trucker since 1974, and has become quite handy with the camera over the years, trying to capture the landscape as one would experience it if they were perched high up in the driver’s seat.
Paul’s Flickr account contains over 200 amazing photos of his travels across America, including many beautiful shots of the open road in the American West. Here are a few of my favorites:
Paul has also put together a beautiful slideshow video that is quite mesmerizing…
Thanks for the great photography Paul! Drive safe.
