My 48-State Road Trip in Road Photos
This trip was from 2009. I’ve been promising myself since some time around then that I’d get all my photos centralized and start really doing something with them once I had a desktop computer I believed in. Got the 5K 27″ iMac a couple weeks ago, DL’ed Lightroom for free through OU, and with that we’re on our way.
On the 48stateroadtrip.com website (currently accessible here: http://c3d.50b.myftpupload.com) and, well, on the trip itself, I was mostly about the locations and the means of transportation was just a means of transportation. OTOH, I *did* drive over 22,000 miles and so some significant time was spent in the vehicle itself. So, then, all these photos were taken from the vehicle, in most (I think) cases while the vehicle was moving and I was behind the wheel.
It’s a lot of photos in one post. You’ll pull through.
