American Fabric: a 40,000-Mile Drive to Marquette by Travis Norman Photography On display in the Huron Mountain Club Gallery from
If you could live anywhere in the US, where would you go?
In the spring of 2021, Travis and his wife and sold their cars and moved their life, and dog, into a 62-square foot camper van. They set out on the road to see where they would want to settle down and raise a family.
Destination: anywhere.
Our 477-day journey took us over 40,000 miles, through 45 US states. About two thirds of the way through, we made a realization.
We were comparing every town in America to a new place we had grown to love: Marquette, Michigan.
This is the visual story of the 40,000 miles of American fabric, sprawled out between their question and their future.
The American fabric is not the sunset over the mountains, or the person pouring coffee at the diner, it is how they are woven together to create the rich, complex, and flawed place we call home.
