In May of 2010, I was rewarded a year long research grant. My premise for the grant was to explore Nevada in order to gain a better sense of its status quo and culture. On the left side of the above picture is a photograph i took while embarking on this research grant in June, 2010. The picture is from the old mining town, Tonopah, located in central Nevada.
In May of 2011, I graduated, at last, from college. In June, I took off from Reno and traveled across the country via train with two of my best friends. We ended our trip in New York City. It dawned on me a few months after this trip how ironic it was the extremities that I traveled to with in the last year. From one of the least populated, and most desolate states in the U.S. to the most populated urban area in the Nation.
The photograph on the right was taken while I was pell-melling around in Williamsberg, and found a nice lookout viewing Manhattan.
These photographs were taken almost exactly one year apart to the day.
Thought it was pretty cool :)
