Road Trip '98
  Home

This is my Road Trip '98 travel log. In August of 1998 I packed up my new Subaru Outback, loaded the big camera and took off for 31 days to take as many pictures as I could. When it was over I had over 120 large format negatives and slides (a lot considering all the driving and the camera setup time, about 45 minutes per shot) and took pictures every day except for 2.

Note: The pictures in this site where captured from my DV camcorder and because they come from a video source, they're not exactly high quality digital pictures.
