He embraces the freedom of the great American road trip, traveling with his trusty Leica camera and only the essentials in tow.

Farrell's inspiration for exploring the Mother Road lies in its independent businesses, rich history, nostalgic charm, and diverse landscapes-all waiting to be documented through his lens. Readers are invited to join him in the passenger seat for this carefully crafted series of Route 66 excursions. Experience the forgotten ruins and abandoned antique cars from a bygone era, overtaken by tumbleweeds and the elements.
