Have you ever taken a wrong turn whilst on holiday and found yourself in an area that usually isn't marked up in the guide book. You hastily retreat back to the familiarity of the main street or highway. Well these are the places I seek to find. Forgotten towns, abandoned possessions, dilapidated buildings, eroded textures and desolate landscapes are all in my search criteria. This book is a collection of images taken on a 10 day 4500 mile road trip around the South Western corner of the United States. California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona. The books title refers to the small town of Mecca in Southern California and the fact that virtually all of the photographs were taken East of Mecca.
