The American Way by Amy Howard
Amy is a photographer, digital artist, painter, chef, butcher, single mother, and finder of Lost Things with a master’s degree in Food and Culture from the University of Oregon.
Amy found inspiration and fascination through Margaret Bourke-White’s 1937 photo, The Louisville Flood, which depicts a billboard extolling the white nuclear family happily driving together with the words, ‘World's Highest Standard of Living. There's No Way like the American Way.’ Beneath the billboard is a group of African American flood victims waiting in a food line, an image of income and class disparity that still exists today. Sandwiches, as a comfort food, exist across both worlds, rich or poor. They can be fancy or simple. A fulfilling meal or a quick snack. They are, in some ways, an equalizer.
