On an epic road trip from Seattle to Los Angeles, two teens recruit a new gang of friends from Instagram and Tumblr

“We bought (the bus) on Craigslist in Seattle for $1000 bucks, fixed it until it ran and then left for LA. We lived out of it and used Instagram and Tumblr to meet all these kids who we were trying to capture.” If that doesn’t sound like a great way to spend two and a half months of your life then I don’t know what you want from this world. That was, at least, how Jules Muir and his friend Jasper Dohrs envisioned the best part of 2015. From idyllic shots of oceans and green fields to cityscapes filled with skater kids, and sleeping bodies being driven down the motorway, their epic journey from Seattle to Los Angeles is now documented in the book The White Bus. "We'd also just pull over in small towns and shoot the kids there, and in cities like LA and SF we'd go out to parties and always have our cameras on us. Eventually the word spread and a lot of people would hit us up(we even got some from Australia), we got food, showers, and made a lot of friends,” Muir told us. "The goal is to show the differences and similarities, on a regional level by putting them all together – just like a yearbook did in high school.”
