I do tend to go TO some place to find photo opportunities. It may only be to a park or the shopping mall, but the series is often defined by the place. Others work differently, as with finding new forms and textures while chopping up vegetables. In either case, it is the viewpoint and imagination more than the actual location which is important. Why not do a series showing us all what western Oklahoma is like? If your imagination interprets it as "boring and repetitive," than show us that!
