Book Description Using conceptual portraits of fire hydrants to document the urban and rural American landscape, this humorous, clever collection of more than 100 images of fire hydrants includes at least one picture from each of the 50 states. Each image of a hydrant creatively mirrors its locality, from a hydrant reflected off a hubcap in Detroit to a hydrant as seen through the window of a Seattle coffee shop. This eclectic mix of photographs provides an entertaining, curbside view of America.
