Ex-fashion photographer Christopher Griffith had nothing less than a radical reinterpretation of American iconography in mind when he assembled a crew to travel the sideways and byways of a forgotten America to shoot everyday, utilitarian things found dotting our contemporary landscape.

An airplane engine cowl. An old pickup truck. A massive earth mover. A sterling fire engine. A weathered traffic sign. An oil rig. A satellite dish. A defunct burger barn. A motel sign, basketball hoop, dock crane, bridge pylon, rocket, cement mixer, dump truck, seesaw . . .
