Take an odyssey along the Lincoln Highway with Kass and Eric Mencher as they search for the people and places that shape a complex country in unexpected ways.
Traveling from coast to coast, the Menchers focus on both the mundane and the unordinary, piecing together a nuanced and textured portrait of life along the nation's first cross-country road.

As a photojournalist at The Philadelphia Inquirer until August, 2009, I traveled the world, the country and the region photographing everything from wars to World Series. Now I work on personal photographic projects, including many with my wife, Kass Mencher. For over a decade we've worked on a series titled "Duets", which juxtaposes our pictures of the same place, person, event or landscape. We're currently finishing a decade-long project on the Lincoln Highway, the first cross-country road in the United States and preparing for an exhibition of our Guatemala photos at the Meson Panza Verde Gallery in Antigua, Guatemala.
