So I’m making my annual summer trip home in a week. I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin, where things are still the way I remember them. I think I’ll make it a point to photograph the little things that remind me of home. Despite being in the city now, I still love Ripon more than ever.

It will always be home to me.

It will always be part of who I am.

I’d like to capture the essence of small town Wisconsin…the essence of being from the country…the essence of who I am.

I think I’ll take my camera and park my car and walk around town until my trigger finger hurts. Hopefully by the end I’ll have a photo project worthy of the town I will always call home.
