Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

A few weeks ago I spent some time driving around Wyoming while visiting my friend and college classmate Alan Rogers, who’s now the managing editor for photo and digital at the Star-Tribune in Casper.

It had been years since we really had a chance to hang out and upon my arrival we decided the best course of action would be a good old fashioned road trip. Alan had a good feeling about Jackson. The route was a gorgeous one taking us though Grand Teton National Park with plenty of time to stop and see the sights along the way.

I lived for a year in Utah and interned for a summer in Colorado, so the west was nothing particularly new to me. However, after living in Chicago for the past several years, there were some unexpected things that surprised me. I always forget until I’m in a place like Wyoming how vast much the country is and it’s almost unusual to live in a place like Chicago with people stacked on top of each other.

I only took one camera, shooting all in black and white, along with a few lenses. I’m not sure anyone will look at this, but without posting them here they’ll just die a quite death on one of my hard drives, so here’s a few frames from Wyoming.
