PAGE STRUCTURE (Book-Ready)
🔹 1. Hero (sets the tone immediately)
From the Road
Moments collected. Along the way.
[ FULL-WIDTH IMAGE ]
👉 No button here
👉 Let it breathe
🔹 2. Short Intro (keep it tight)
2–3 lines max:
For the past 20 years, I’ve been documenting the overlooked—roadside stops, fading signs, and places that feel like they shouldn’t still exist.
These are moments collected along the way.
👉 That’s it. Stop there.
🔹 3. Image Blocks (this is the core)
Forget grids.
Use vertical storytelling blocks:

🎯 Rules for this section
- 6–10 images max
- Full-width or large
- Lots of spacing
- Each image = its own moment
👉 Think photo book pages, not Instagram
🔥 Caption Style (your signature)
Keep them:
- short
- slightly mysterious
- not over-explained
Examples:
- “Dust, heat, and a reason to stop.”
- “Didn’t plan to be here.”
- “Still glowing after all these years.”
🔹 4. Subtle Book Tie-In (important)
After a few images, add:
The Project
These images are part of an ongoing project exploring strange and forgotten corners of America.
A collection of stories and photographs—still taking shape.
👉 No hard sell
👉 No “buy now”
👉 Just intrigue
🔹 5. Optional Soft CTA
At the bottom:
- Back to Shop →
- Explore Threads →
👉 Bring them back into buying flow
