BACK IN STOCK! The Open Road

Alec Soth's "Peter's Houseboat, Winona, Minnesota" (2002) is reproduced from The Open Road, Aperture's classic survey of photography and the American roadtrip—back in stock at last. First published in Sleeping by the Mississippi, Soth's first major photographic project and his first publication, this image was immediately iconic. "I think I am better when I am away from home," Soth is quoted, "but not too far. Away from the distractions, but close enough to read the minutia and details of an environment I understand."
