BACKROAD ADVENTURE CAPTURES
Finding stories along the backroads, one photograph and one unexpected turn at a time. Forgotten Main Street explores the backroads and overlooked places through photography, curiosity and shared stories. We follow the roads less traveled, document the character of communities and roadside relics, and invite fellow photographers to look closer, roam respectfully, and help preserve these places by sharing what they discover.

Welcome to Forgotten Main Street — a backroad adventure project from two friends, Fielding ‘Peep’ Piepereit and Robert ‘Dixie’ Trawick.
We started with a simple idea: modern Fujifilm cameras paired with vintage manual-focus lenses, making film-like frames with real character, and edits kept light and honest. Along the way we learned the heart of it was never just the gear — it’s the journey, and the places quietly disappearing along it.
We steer away from the interstates, aiming instead for two-lane wonders most people fly past, rusty relics resting behind old fences, and the forgotten main streets, cafes, garages, and motels that once buzzed with life.
Every stop is a chance to slow down, look twice, and share the story while it’s still there to tell. If you’ve ever felt the urge to pull over for a collapsing sign, a weathered truck, or a quiet main street at blue hour — you’re in the right place.
