In 2001 I read in the newspaper about the upcoming Lewis & Clark 200th anniversary of the expedition. It was predicted that 40 million folks would travel the trail over the four years of the anniversary celebrations. That inspired me to look into the possibility of a book on the trail. I decided to be in the same locations as the expedition was at the same time of year as they were. This would give the reader a better sense for being there with the expedition. I would also put quotes from their journals with relevant images.
Then the planning started and finally the first trip done in the winter of 2002 to Double Ditch, North Dakota. The snow flew and I was happily at work. I spent the next two and a half years following the trail with maps and journals. I decided to specifically shoot in such a way that modern man would be minimalized in the images.

This folio consists of 12 images from my book The Lewis & Clark Trail American Landscapes. Folio can be ppurchased on Quiet Light Publishing using this link: Folio - L&C B&W Edition
