Looking for the ordinary

I'm going on a "Nebraska" photo expedition soon for Spring Break. Some people might think I'm crazy for a staying here to take photos - there are, after all, only one or two "books of interesting places" about Nebraska. One is usually the Old Market, and the other "Carhenge." Maybe it's true - there isn't much extroardinary in Nebraska...

Yet Zach and I are going to go a different route - we're going to look for the ordinary. We're going to stay away from I-80 and take some smaller roads, visit some small towns, and get to know this state a little better.

I think it'll be good for me. I often go out on trips to take photos and come back with next to nothing... usually because I'll tell myself "there was nothing to take photos of."

This trip will help me focus, I think, on making the ordinary beautiful.

Below are some photos from a few "lost" trips - where I came back with next to nothing after hours looking.
