Fine art prints & other Info
I always wanted to travel across the USA and document the country’s state and its people in our -tough- times. The summer of 2010 has been my projected date since New Year’s eve 2008 and I’m planning my trip as I write this blurb.
Chapter I
The experience of doing a road trip by car appealed to me at first, but I think of it as a very solitary experience and decided to put a different spin on my trip across the country. I will mostly utilize public transportation, namely the Amtrak and busses to meet people and interact with them; after all the human element is what makes my photographs speak to the viewer.
update:
1.) 90 days is not nearly enough time to achieve this task
2.) public transportation in America sucks, even though I’d consider a Greyhound pass the next time around
3.) Giving the project a name with a year attached to it was stupid
4.) I hope to get back on the road in 2011, possibly with an RV
5.) donations, no matter, how small are appreciated
