A 17 anni Mike Brodie salì sul suo primo treno vicino casa sua a Pensacola, in Florida, pensando di far visita ad un amico di Mobile, in Alabama. Il suo treno invece andava nella direzione opposta a Jacksonville, FL. Giorni dopo, Brodie era sullo stesso treno diretto verso casa, tornando così al punto di partenza. Questo episodio aveva dato il via a qualcosa, e Brodie prese da quel momento a vagare per gli Stati Uniti con ogni mezzo libero, a piedi, in autostop e in treno.Poco dopo, Brodie trovò una macchina fotografica dietro un seggiolino. Da questo momento ha trascorso anni a girare in lungo e in largo per gli Stati Uniti documentando le sue esperienze, ora considerate come uno degli archivi più impressionanti della fotografia di viaggio americana. Alla domanda sul suo approccio al viaggio e alla fotografia Brodie ha detto: "a volte prendo un treno nella direzione sbagliata.. qualunque cosa accada, ne uscirà una foto, quindi non importa dove finirò."
At 17 Mike Brodie hopped his first train close to his home in Pensacola, FL thinking he would visit a friend in Mobile, AL. Instead the train went in the opposite direction to Jacksonville, FL. Days later, Brodie rode the same train home, arriving back where he started. Nonetheless, it sparked something and Brodie began to wander across the U.S. by any means that were free - walking, hitchhiking and train hopping. Shortly after, Brodie found a Polaroid camera stuffed behind a carseat. With no training in photography and coke-bottle glasses, the instant camera was an opening for Brodie to document his experiences. As a way of staying in touch with his transient community, Brodie shared his pictures on various websites gaining the moniker 'The Polaroid Kidd' [sic]. When the Polaroid film he used was discontinued, Brodie switched to 35mm film and a sturdy 1980's camera. Brodie spent years crisscrossing the U.S. amassing a collection, now appreciated as one of the most impressive archives First printing; Inscribed and dated by Brodie at title page; Sound binding; Clean, sturdy boards; Pages free of markings; Dust jacket Very Good w/ no significant flaws to disclose; An excellent copy.
