It's about that time... time to pack up everything I need to live in a 6x10 foot space full time. Yes, I am going to live in my van with my dog, Max in a few weeks. This is our fourth year on the road and I am looking forward to this year more than ever. I don't have a set agenda, rather I am going to stay open to the possibility of changing direction depending on who I meet or what a local might say about what "not to miss." I am going to blog and share portraits of people I meet on the road here on this blog. I plan to write more, take more photos and talk to more people along the way.
Eventually, I would like to put together a book or show with the images I take of Americana throughout the states. But with most projects (including cost of gas to get to places to take photographs), it costs money. I thought about starting a Kickstarter project to help the project of documenting Americans I meet by chance, but time slipped away and my house is being rented so I need to get going.
I have always enjoyed getting postcards from people when they are on vacation and hearing about their adventure. I would love to send YOU (or your grandparents, parents, or another loved one by request) a postcard from the road with a photograph that I took and a message from me. Not only just one, but up to FIVE from my journey. For a donation for as little as $5, I will send you a postcard with an original image taken by me. Even better, you can punch out the 3x3 image and stick it on your fridge, frame it, or pin it to a map of the USA. Also, you will get a link to download the original image. All of this for only FIVE dollars! For those of you who want more than one image, I will send you THREE postcards from the road for $10 and FIVE for a donation of $15 or more.
The postcard of Max is just an example of what it will look like. Each image on the postcard will be original and a surprise on what you get in the mail. It might be a 3x3 pop out or a full image on the postcard. I'll give you a hint that it will be of a person, animal, place or a thing. I will start sending the first batch of postcards out in mid July. Depending on the amount you donate, it will determine how many cards you receive. I look forward to sending you a photo card from the road!
