I say this because I recently have been thinking how I could get some money together to travel and still be able to go to Chicago in the fall. I was talking with Alexa about this situation as I presented the question of "If she could do anything in life right now that she wanted to, what would you do?" Her answer was however not directed to this but mine was and after I stated that I would probably just throw a few pairs of pants and shirts and hit the road and just travel both the air and the road until I found a place I loved. This is a dream of mine and I intended to do it one summer soon.
However, the major point of this is to point out that Alexa and I feel that it is rather ridiculous that it is to expensive for a person to see the world that they live in then. How can that person really live their life if they haven't seen it with their own eyes. I feel that when we as a country set out to free ourselves from debt we need to free ourselves and make it so everyone can travel at least once in their lives. There is a photographer that really makes me dream harder and want this dream of mine to happen. Brian Schutmaat's photographs from his travels across Texas and the West are completely compelling and striking. I first saw his photographs on Flickr where I would constantly check it to see if he had posted more images. I have probably favored sixty percent of his photos on Flickr.
