American Spirit

An unabashedly gorgeous collection of mountainous vistas and meta-advertising spreads that riff on the name of the eponymous cigarette brand.

Wide-open views of Western peaks are interspersed with close-shot portraits, still lifes and consumer imagery, a Manifest Destiny atlas for the post-internet era. Features twenty-six pages devoted to pictures of Ethridge's drive through the Rocky Mountains in January 2017, with landscapes grouped according to the three-day period over which they were taken: January 19th, 20th, and 21st, the days before, during, and after the Presidential Inauguration.
