“Route 66 Turns 90”

Scott & Lauren Kern (aka Dad & Daughter Photography) of Moorestown, New Jersey will be displaying selected photographs from their extensive collection of images captured driving across America on Route 66 during the summer of 2016 in the Medford Arts Center’s Gazebo Room from September 22^nd through November 3, 2017.

Last year, marked the 90^th Anniversary of Route 66 (aka The Mother Road) commissioned in November 1926.  Flying to Chicago, Illinois, the Kern family rented an SUV and drove approximately 3,000 miles in 16 days, across 8 states (IL, MO, KS, OK, TX, NM, AZ and CA) eventually arriving in Santa Monica, California. 

Scott Kern explains “We are photographers, part storytellers and part historians.  Our job is to create a story that transcends time conveying the emotion embodied within the image at a particular point in time.”

For this project, the Kern father and daughter team chose unique images of “Americana” included lost but not forgotten motels, eateries, roadside attractions and national parks that defined road travel across America from 1926 to 2016.  

The Route 66 collection will be exhibited at the Medford Arts Center (MAC) located at 18 North Main Street, Medford, New Jersey, 08055.  Meet the Artists reception will be held on Friday, September 29, 2017 from 6-9 pm.
