“William Wyckoff’s rephotography creations are a kind of artistic exploration of the American roadside as place and image. If you like your travels served up with provocative visuals insightfully comported, Riding Shotgun with Norman Wallace will usher you merrily along that lost highway.”—Daniel D. Arreola, Journal of Historical Geography
“Wyckoff has spent his entire career looking carefully, thinking about what he is seeing, and communicating his thoughts in prose that is rich and refreshing, much to the benefit and delight of his readers.”—Geoffrey L. Buckley, The AAG Review of Books
“Armchair travels have taken on an added allure during the pandemic, and this book is worth perusing. It is especially attractive to those who have lived in Arizona or may be considering relocating to the Grand Canyon State.”—Rosanne Boyett, Cibola Citizen
“William Wyckoff presents a humorous, engaging, and personal remaking of Norman Wallace’s photographs documenting Arizona’s byways and communities. Given this uniquely descriptive biopic that recontextualizes the photographs made by Wallace, who worked for the Arizona Highway Department and contributed frequently to Arizona Highways, it’s time for a between-the-pages road trip!”—Peter Goin, coauthor of Time and Time Again: History, Rephotography, and Preservation in the Chaco World
