Description

From the publisher: "In May 2011, five Magnum photographers - Paolo Pellegrin, Jim Goldberg, Susan Meiselas, Alex Soth, Mikhael Subotzky - and a writer, Ginger Strand, set out from Austin, Texas in an RV. Two weeks and 1750 miles later, they arrived in Oakland, California. The resulting limited edition book is a collection of objects ... that collectively document the experience."
