Thanks so much John! I think it really is a matter of time, and a bit of luck too. I was very fortunate to be able to devote a lot of time to this project over the last year. It was just something I really needed to do for my own artistic development. And I do feel that I have not truly gotten a great picture of every town, despite my efforts and multiple attempts in some cases, I think it probably will take years to accomplish that feat. When I think about the day I shot Middlesex, I had actually been there only a couple of days prior and didn't feel great about the shots I had gotten. But then on January 15, as I drove up the highway on my way to the Mad River Valley, the snowfall getting heavier and heavier the farther north I drove, I got off at exit 9, and as I drove through Middlesex, every scene I had shot just a couple of days prior was substantially improved by the snow, so I discarded the earlier images and counted my visit to Middlesex as January 15. I thank you for visiting my site and following my journey through Vermont, and I wish you all the best in completing your quest.
