Description

A haunting love letter to the American spirit, Drivebys by Brian Bowen Smith is a powerful meditation on solitude, connection, and the strange stillness of the road. Shot from the cabin of “Pearl,” the photographer’s 1958 Ford F-100, these black-and-white photographs reflect moments of humanity seen — but never touched — through the window of a moving truck.

Armed with a Leica M10 Monochrom and a poetic sensibility, Smith photographed strangers, friends, and fleeting encounters from behind glass, never stepping out, never disturbing the stillness. The result: unfiltered slices of Americana that feel timeless, ghostly, and deeply personal.

With a foreword by actor Josh Brolin and images spanning coast to coast, Drivebys is more than a photography book — it's a portrait of resilience, of what lingers in the quiet, and of the stories we tell without words.
