'Main Street. The Lost Dream of Route 66' comprises 84 photographs taken by Keating along Route 66 from 2000 to 2011. Also known as the “Mother Road,” Route 66 was the only direct road to California, until the 1950s—when the interstate highway system created a bypass that shut off its lifeblood, forcing thousands of shops and motels into bankruptcy over the next 50 years. Between the twin pressures of harmful trade treaties and lower wages abroad, the national economy had changed as well, and entire industries began to dry up, sending countless jobs to Asia and south of the border. Western-bound job seekers now bumped shoulders with Mexican immigrants heading east. This book is about those who traveled the length of the highway and those who settled along the way.

Edward Keating (1956-2022) has lived and worked as a photographer in New York City since 1981. After ten years of learning to photograph on the streets he was hired as a Staff Photographer at The New York Times where he covered national and international news and was a regular contributor to the Sunday The New York Times Magazine. He co-founded “Vows,” The New York Times wedding column and shared in a Pulitzer Prize for his photographs of 9/11. He has also been a regular contributor to Time Magazine, Rolling Stone, W Magazine and New York Magazine. Keating’s work is held by the permanent collections of major museums.
