I'm pretty much in the same situation, small town, less than 8,000 people, and a college down the road. I go for walks in the forest, or my backyard even. I shoot still lifes, in my studio better known as my kitchen. And I make sure I take my camera with me when I go on weekend getaways.... But I have to admit I live in a state that is very small.... comparing size you could probably fit 10 of them into Oaklahoma. I can get to NYC or Boston in under 3 hours and the state captiol of Providence is under 45 minutes away, so finding subject matter isn't quite so hard.

I am, therefore I create.......
