Going into this year-long project I knew I wanted to travel but I was not sure where. Since I have lived in Michigan my whole life and have not been to too much of it, I decided it would be perfect to explore the state. I picked towns that I have never been to before or heard of, which directed me to over 30 locations. Some landscapes and places were picked out and some I stumbled upon by driving and choosing unknown roads. On these trips I journaled, writing about experiences, people I talked to, and what I saw or heard. By doing this, the journey became so much more than just what these towns looked like but what they had to offer. Each has its own unique experience. At the end of it all, I created a book containing all the locations I have been to and also added short writing to some of the images to allow the audience to understand my experience and see the image on a more personal level.
