Kickstarter

I'm preparing for my longest train journey yet, so I launched a Kickstarter campaign.

My project was a Kickstarter staff pick and was noted on there blog.

Thank you everyone for your support.  




















I Ride Trains: Photographing America, by Stacey Evans
I love Stacey's project because I want to live through her vicariously. The Virginia-based photographer has made a career out of riding trains, traversing wide swaths of the American landscape in order to capture it via photographs and videos taken from rocking train car windows. She's taken fourteen trips so far, resulting in an impressive collection of imagery that explores the American landscape, and how people "co-exist with other humans, architecture, and nature." What a life! And her next trip will be her longest yet, beginning in her homebase of Charlottesville and ending all the way in Los Angeles. I'll back because I want to be there every step (train track?) of the way! — Cassie M.
