Interesting, thanks. Not sure if Kerouac's comments add to or detract from the photographs. |  |

Yeah, i had the same thought. They are a bit tangential to the images I think. |  |

The comments add no value at all. The images though are very powerful. I don’t know what it is about black and white photographs. Somehow I see a lot more when I look at them. |  | | |

I think they're grasping for meaning from the images at a time when America was doing a lot of searching to define itself in new ways. Like a lot of early attempts, a bit hit-and-miss, trying a little too hard. |  |

Although I suspect, given the mid~sixties date of the photographs, it was toward the end of Kerouac's life and he was a bit too deep into the drink to imbue the 'On The Road' inspiration for a commission he may have been glad to get. | |

Ah, now I don't know if one of my idols has fallen or whether my usual attention deficits have displayed themselves...probably the latter. | |
