Last year we interviewed photographer Ryann Ford about a project she was working on: traveling the country to preserve the humble American rest stop through a series of photographs. These are relics of a time when most people traveled by car on vacations, and as new super stops pop up along highways, the simple rest stop is becoming extinct.

At the end of our conversation, we asked Ryann what was next for her project and she told us she hoped to one day turn the project into a book. Fast forward to now, Ryann has launched a Kickstarter to help fund the book. We spoke to her via email to get an update.
