I've always enjoyed shooting photos on California's highways, but never had the guts to get close-up shots of the occupants of nearby cars and risk dome-ventilation courtesy of road-ragers' firearms. Photographer Andrew Bush, however, does have the guts, and he's been rewarded with an amazing collection of photographs. Most of these photos were shot in California between 1989 and 1997; make the jump to check out the entire gallery, then check out the artist's site to read the captions. Bonus points to the reader who can identify the make/model of the largest number of cars!
