I recently set a goal of traveling Route 66 in Oklahoma and stopping to shoot one photograph every mile. I thought I’d share the images here, as they should give you a good sense of the diverse businesses, attractions, and scenery you’ll encounter along the road.

Here’s the first image, exactly one mile from my starting point:

And here are the rules:
1. Start at Southwest Boulevard (Route 66) and 33rd West Avenue in Tulsa and work east, then come back to the starting point and head west.
2. Every time the odometer reaches a new mile, stop and take a picture.
3. When the car stops, anything in sight is fair game and may be shot from inside or outside the car, from any angle, in any direction, from either side of Route 66.

Because the odometer is guiding my choices, these photos won’t necessarily show you the coolest or most famous attractions on Route 66. Instead, they are just a sampling of what’s out there on the road. Hopefully this will be interesting and maybe even a little helpful as you plan your trip.

Questions about the photographs are welcome. Enjoy!
