Oddyssey: The Billiad (Volume 2)

Chronicling a two week trip around the world - visiting towns in Ohio with foreign names. Oddyssey is a quirky photo journal of one man's trip around the world - without leaving Ohio. With humor and style the traveler visits towns from Moscow to Mesopotamia, Congo to Calcutta, Aberdeen to York by way of Utopia and scores of other unlikely places all found in America's heartland. As foreign as the place names are, the towns are disctinctly American. The photographs connect mid-America with the larger world. Oddyssey speaks to everyone's sense of place. Bill Westheimer is a fine art photographer whose work is shown in galleries and museums worldwide. Recent books include MOMENTO - a collection of memories and cameras, and Manual - The Personalities of Hands. He lives in New Jersey - a state which has surprisingly few towns with foreign names.
