This September marks 50 years since Jack Kerouac's On the Road hit bookshelves, stirred controversy and spoke — in a new voice — to a generation of readers. Today the beat travelogue continues to sell 100,000 copies a year in the U.S. and Canada alone.
His books have always been a fairly large inspiration for me... in my travels.. and the way that I write about traveling and experiencing life... as well as in my photographs when I'm on the road.
