Blue Collar by Truck is a photography book and (190-page) meditation on labor, travel, and resilience. Drawing from over 6,000 images made while working as a field mechanic, Austin Jensen pairs photographs with mantras once inscribed on his skin, blending external landscapes with inner reflection. The truck becomes capsule, sanctuary, and prison—a vessel for both confinement and discovery. This book speaks to blue-collar work and the human condition, transforming labor into a poetic reflection on machines, memory, and ordinary lives.
