Overview

Abandoned Roadside Attractions: Under a Southwest Moon is a fascinating nocturnal exploration of the best abandoned oddities, kitschy tourist traps, strange sculptures, and surreal art installations throughout California, Arizona, and Nevada. These roadside attractions were designed to capture the imagination of motorists on their way to somewhere else. Wander at night with the author through a Flintstones-themed village, a dilapidated 1950s-themed waterpark, forty curiously painted vehicles jammed into the desert sand, a forgotten Santa's Village tucked in the mountains, and 129 life-sized metal sculptures of prehistoric beasts rusting in the desert. Some attractions continue to decay, while others have been saved ... for now. The author illuminates these amazing locales with light, creating haunting dreamlike exposures of several minutes or more. If you are a fan of creative photography, weird attractions, or have an insatiable curiosity for travel, Abandoned Roadside Attractions invites you to catch rarely seen glimpses of these strange sites.

Author Information

Ken Lee is a night photographer. He drives long hours in a dusty car listening to weird music, stays out all night creating photos, gets dirty, hangs out with other creative sleep-deprived weirdos, sees the stars drift across the sky, and always finds the best taco stands. Ken has been exploring the Southwestern United States as well as parts of the East Coast for over six years, brandishing a camera, tripod, and colored flashlight. He especially loves creating night photos of abandoned historical places, unique features, and beautiful landscapes. These are experiences that he absolutely cherishes. His images have appeared in National Geographic books, Omni magazine, The Los Angeles Times, Westways magazine, and many other publications.
