50 Models 50 States (The E-Book) (Patreon)

It seems like with some of the changes Patreon has made that my automated thank you message, which includes a link to the E-Book for all of you is no longer working!  To make things easier I think just making it available with all the other creations will be less confusing.

Creating this book was one of the longer more difficult projects I have ever taken on.  I won't lie when I initially decided to take this on I thought it would be easy.  I'd already traveled to all 48 states once or twice before, but I hadn't really considered how hard it would be to go to every state, find a location, and get a model to that location.  Sometimes I had to shoot in a place much different than where I wanted because the model and location were 10 hours apart.

All told by the time I was done shooting I had slept in my car close to 4 months worth of nights, spent over a year on the road, gotten dangerously lost in alaska, been in 6 state of emergency spawning storms, and one car crash that left me stranded in South Dakota.  When I finished it I wasn't sure that I would ever want to go back on the road and shoot like that again, which as we all know I definitely did.

I think this project made me a much better photographer, and while I'm not completely satisfied with it, I hope you all enjoy the final product.  Nicole and I are working hard on what will be somewhat of a sequel, which, while it will not include all of the states, will have many of the locations that I ended up not being able to use for this.
