Vanishing America: The End of Main Street Diners, Drive-Ins, Donut Shops, and Other Everyday Monuments
"...a liberation from the glaring rat race of American life." ~LA Times"Eastman's photos of fading American kitsch...are like a post-apocalyptic stage set for lost mid-century dreams." ~Print"Texture, variety, human scale--these are what we stand to lose when these places disappear.  Consider it a call to arms." ~National Geographic Traveler"The careful excision of human life forces us to focus on what might otherwise seem unremarkable, sweeping aside the dust to expose the archaeological strata of US society that still lie there beneath the modern." ~World of Interiors“Shot without people, the photos capture the crumbling decay of movie houses, diners, drive-ins, and so on across the United States. …Eastman, who has a terrific eye and knows how to stay out of the way of his subjects, photographed most of these places with an unvarnished objectivity that veers away from nostalgia toward despair.” ~Su Casa Magazine
