Back in San Francisco

After nearly two months of driving, I've found my way back home. I traveled a little over 10,000 miles and passed through 28 states, shooting around 120 rolls of film. I can't even count how many great people I met on this trip. Thank you so much to everyone that was able to extend some hospitality my way, your love and support enriched this entire experience. I am ecstatic to see and share the photographs I made. It'll be some time until even I see them all: getting color film developed isn't cheap. I'm going to take a few tomorrow just to give me something to start with. I saw so many amazing sites on my journey, it's overwhelming to even think about.

I want to tell you everything little detail because it was all just so amazing--the country diners, the blown, rolling plains, the handmade old billboards and signage in dying towns, and all the different people--but I'm at a loss for words. We have such a diverse and complex social system at work. There are so many walks of life in this nation. I have not begun to completely absorb all the different cultures, climates, and landscapes I've seen over the last two months. Hopefully, my photographs will be able to bring my thoughts to life and show the nation that we have created from my perspective.

All said, it is good to be home. I missed the city bike rides, bustling streets outside a milling stew of housemates, and all my great friends. I've got a lot motivating me now and all my time to reflect has really strengthened the legs I walk on.
