OK, I didn't but I've always wanted to title something that. A sort of tipping of my hat to A Tribe Called Quest.
I am now at 31 states in my goal to go to all 50 states. Next month my trip to Austin will bring me to 32! At first I was sort of grumpy about a trip to South Dakota in the WINTER but I gotta say, I have not seen anything like the places I saw in my three day whirlwind tour. It was for probably my last round of Deadline screenings for a while. Next time I come to South Dakota, I want to go to Western South Dakota and see the Black Hills, the Badlands, Deadwood and Mount Rushmore.
A filmmaker friend is making a film about this town in South Dakota (It's a long, long story what it is about and I won't get into it. Plus, filmmakers are pretty tight lipped about their projects.) In a random turn of events, I ended up going to this town. She asked me to take some specific photos because she wanted to see them in the winter. It was fun to have an "assignment" especially since I never take enough pictures when I travel. Here is my favorite. (There are many more on my Flickr page.)
It is a replica of the homestead that Oscar Micheaux lived on for many years all by himself in the middle of nowhere. I can not imagine being out in this field in 30 below weather all alone. I am just not cut out for it.
