A few years ago, Brian Bowen Smith got a treasured gift from a dying man named Bob. It was his 1958 Ford F-100, now affectionately named Pearl. Smith hatched an idea during the pandemic, that he wanted to capture scenes from life all across the country during this strange time. He and some friends are now zigzagging across the country, traveling from Los Angeles to New York and back, snapping photos of what America looks like during the pandemic. Washington, Nevada, Colorado, Louisiana, and many more states got a visit from Smith and h his crew. Having overcome many hurdles, Smith is sure Bob is watching them.
