United States
My United States travel collection begins with Wisconsin, bringing together photographs of Lake Michigan, state and national park landscapes, and the Wisconsin State Fair. It continues with a 2014 family trip to the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado, with New Mexico, where I spent years working on a ranch outside Cimarron, and with Florida, where I saw the last Space Shuttle launch in 2011. It ends with Illinois: Chicago, for a museum, a celebration at the ballpark, and deep dish, and Chicago O’Hare, where the flights begin.
