On a recent trip across Southern California, Ludwig Favre stopped at a pink roadside motel of the kind that once defined the state's idea of itself: kidney-shaped pool, script neon, door numbers fading into hot stucco. Favre photographs the place not for nostalgia but for what it still is, a working object, painted and repainted, holding a vacancy sign in the late afternoon. The image is part of his larger California series on motels, signs and the long American shoulder of the road.
