Texas Quail Rigs Photographer A. Lokey has been documenting a unique breed of dove hunting vehicles found in Texas that are slowly disappearing (along with dove population and the rights to the straight-to-DVD sequel Jurassic Trailer Park). His resulting book can best be described as artful truck porn with a cultural conservationist spin. In other words, we want it on our coffee table, now. $85 |
