NY22

Rick Schatzberg 

I imagine NY22 to be a river flowing from headwaters at the Canadian border to its delta in the Bronx.A mostly rural two-lane highway,Twenty Two is not the principal artery it once was.For 337 miles it snakes along a changed landscape but cuts a deep path through layers of history.I am steadily drawn upstream,towards the North Country.

Informed by literary and photographic road trip genres,my work departs from the tradition of quickly moving through America.I reinterpret a place in flux through repeated sessions.The river where I set my foot just now is gone…it's now this and then this.My photographs exist as glances,subjective and incomplete evidence of fragmentary encounters.

I first became familiar with portions of Route 22 when my wife and I would drive from our home in Northwestern Connecticut to Northern Vermont to visit our son.We were intent upon only taking back roads and made this 6+hour road trip many times.I became increasingly intrigued by how this historic stretch of road reflected so much of America and decided to spend time photographing it.This work was made over a one-year period,from the spring of 2014 through the spring of 2015.During that period,I would spend days or sometimes weeks at a time driving north towards Canada and then back south to New York City.I gave myself permission to wander east and west of Route 22 as though I was following tributaries that fed the principal river I was charting.I self-published a book of this work in 2015.At the time I intended to continue the project with a second phase that included portraits,however I moved on to other projects.Six years have now passed,but I am starting to think it may be time to head to the North Country again.

22号公路

Rick Schatzberg 

我想象NY22是一条从加拿大边境源头流向其三角洲的河流 布朗克斯。22号公路是一条主要是农村的双车道公路，它已经不是以前的主干道了 曾经是。在337英里的范围内，它沿着变化了的地貌蜿蜒前行，但却在岩层间划出了一条深深的路径 历史。我不断地被拉向上游，向着北方国家。 从文学和摄影的公路旅行类型来看，我的作品不同于 快速穿越美国的传统。我通过重复来重新解释一个不断变化的地方 会话。我刚才踏足的那条河不见了…就是现在这个然后这个。我的 照片是作为一种眼神、主观的和不完整的零碎证据而存在的 偶遇。

我第一次熟悉22号公路的部分路段是在我和妻子开车从我们的 家在康涅狄格州西北部，去佛蒙特州北部看望我们的儿子。我们是有意的 只走了回去的路，并多次进行了6个多小时的公路旅行。我变成了 越来越好奇这条历史悠久的公路是如何反映美国的大部分地区的 决定花时间拍下来。这项工作历时一年，从 2014年的春天到2015年的春天。在那段时间里，我会花几天时间 有时一次开几个星期的车向北去加拿大，然后向南回到纽约 城市。我允许自己在22号公路的东西两侧游荡，好像我是 沿着注入我绘制的主要河流的支流。我自己出版了一本 这项工作在2015年。当时我打算继续这个项目的第二阶段 包括肖像，但是我转到其他项目。六年过去了，但是我 我开始觉得是时候再次去北方了。
