I Took 16 Photos On The Remains Of Route 66 To Capture Human Connection Through Abandoned Spaces
Aristotle proclaimed that human beings are inherently social creatures. Since his time, the development of biology and sociology has become a significant area of study. *Social Biophilia* is a series that connects the Biophilia Hypothesis Theory with key sociological principles to examine the phenomenon of human beings' desire for connection with their environment and other living creatures.
The series examines and uses U.S. Route 66 as the key subject in exploring these topics to provide evidence of connectivity, either present or documented from once-existing connections. Architecture, landscape, and man-made structures all provide evidence of an individual's need to connect.

Looks more like a place in the woods where jerks dump their unwanted junk.

These are the most boring Route 66 photos I have ever seen. I live right next to it and I think I've driven most of what is left. I know my husband has. You can get more iconic Route 66 photos driving through downtown Albuquerque than these.

Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate your suggestion. While Route 66 is still populated and has plenty of sections that are still thriving both economically and socially, the aim of the series was to look at the opposite and show historical evidence of the human connection. By photographing the more 'tourist'-y sections of Route 66, it contradicts the purpose of the series.

To my eyes, these pictures all show strange, alien landscapes. Interesting. Thanks.

Route 66 spans several states in the US. There are more interesting stops along the way to photograph than someone's property. Look it up, if you want, it's got quite a history that's still in progress.

I wonder if the remains of Route 66 have fewer potholes than the roads that replaced it. After all, fewer cars drive on it nowadays.

In 1968 a friend and I deserted the USMC to go to Chicago; we traveled the entire Route 66 (I was bummed when the state of AZ renamed route 666 - damned Xtians). We were in a rented Carmen Ghia. We did not actually desert; in fact we were caught while we were on our way back.

"Get your fix on Route 66". That was a thing once. Long long ago and in a galaxy far far away.🤷

These are rural areas. Not everything needs to be glass and concrete, or brand new.
