I will try to keep you all updated--just got back from driving around the country for three months and am heading out again in a week. I intend to take the better part of this year to shoot America. Editing the first batch from the road--got a few decent shots, I think. About getting that book signed--where do you live? I may be coming to a town near you soon!
