Ed Morris had an idea. Take a bicycle trip across America with camera in hand taking pictures of American city mayors along the way. He was able to average about 50 miles a day and carried 600 rolls of film. He put his bike and his camera to very good use as evidenced by "Mayors Across America: A 3,600 Mile Bicycle Journey Documenting The American Mayor". The coffee-table art book sized compendium is chronologically arranged and presents a full page photography of the mayors he encountered, along with the name and location of their communities, as well as their population figures and a mayoral quotation. A unique and fascinating photography study, "Mayors Across America" is highly recommended and could well serve as a template for similar projects by other creative, innovative photography collections.
