**Order by December 16th for arrival by Christmas**
From now through December 16th, each bundle order will receive a free copy of my zine, Way Out West.
Volume One introduces readers to rusted iron, weathered brick, overgrown brush, and dusty backroads—textures found across lonely towns and rural landscapes that hold more story than meets the eye. Organized geographically, it includes notable stops such as Big Bend National Park, Larry McMurtry’s famed bookstore in Archer City, and the birthplace of Waylon Jennings.
Volume Two continues the journey with over 300 new photographs capturing vacant roadways, abandoned Main Streets, and slices of Americana slowly yielding to time and the Texas elements. This volume also steps into Swansey’s personal history, offering an intimate tour of her hometown and stories about family, travel, and the “occasional mischief” behind the lens.
Across both books, Swansey’s work preserves the charm, grit, and complexities of contemporary rural America. Perfect for fans of the New Topographics movement, Lone Star wanderers, and anyone curious about the places that shape Texas off the beaten path.
