Chances are you’re like me today.  You’re like me because you’re traveling to get to friends and family for Thanksgiving.

Photographer, Andrew Bush, has a series of photos of people like us entitled “Vector Portraits” in which he photographs people travelling in their cars along highways in the Southwest United States.  Many people feel as though the rest of the world can’t see them when they’re driving (often doing things that they would never do in public like sloppily eating sandwiches or picking their nose).  This series offers insight into what people do when they think they’re not being watched as well as reactions when they realize someone just took their picture–very “deer in headlights”.
