This is a vast country—truly massive. These photographs span many years of traveling across it, moving through different landscapes, communities, and ways of life. When you see it laid out like this, it’s easy to understand why we hold so many different opinions. The distances are real. The experiences are different. And yet, somehow, we’re still one.

I love this country. Deeply. These images mark the places where I’ve stood, paused, and paid attention—where I’ve planted my feet and taken it all in. Together, they tell my version of the story of America: complex, contradictory, beautiful, and absolutely worth loving.
