Take Pictures
Every epic journey demands visual documentation, a rule
exemplified by photographer Robert Frank’s road trip
masterpiece,
The Americans
. Frank, however, was bankrolled
by the Guggenheim Foundation; you are not. Luckily, the
X-Pro1, Fuji’s latest entry into the prosumer interchangeable-
lens digital camera market, provides a relatively cheap and
supremely portable option. You can outfit the X-Pro1—which
boasts a new high-resolution sensor—with three fixed-focal-
length lenses, including an incredibly versatile 35mm f/1.4.
And if your pictures don’t end up being museum-quality, you
can always sit and admire the attractive retro styling
of the camera itself.
