A state known for the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains, the Yellowstone and Grand Tetons National Parks where Ansel Adams made his famous picture of Snake River, and of course its Wildlife; Bison, Bear, Beaver, and Badger all roam the state. Located in the heart of the Wild West, Wyoming is famously the Cowboy State of America.<br />
<br />
The town of Cody, founded by and named after William "Buffalo Bill" Cody is home to nightly rodeos throughout the summer.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; font-family: inherit;">Everywhere you drive in this country you encounter houses and cars adorned with pristine flags. People here just love to have old glory waving out on their front porch or off the back of their vehicle. I have been looking for a tattered flag and it has taken me most of my trip to find one! This star spangled banner was raised next to the gate of a rural property on a highway somewhere near the Utah-Arizona border. </span></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This area was extensively documented by Ansel Adams and I couldn't stop thinking about all his fantastic imagery as I was approaching these landscapes, hoping that they would live up to the expectations I had after seeing his images. Luckily I was surprised, all the landscapes. I had found somewhere that no picture can possibly do justice!</div>

When I arrived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on Sunday I was confronted not only with a dull overcast day but with very little to photograph, downtown was boring, and pretty much everywhere else was either deserted or too rough to even think about getting out of the car. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just as I was about to head back to my accommodation the sun emerged through the clouds so I went off to just about the only place I thought I could possibly make a decent picture, the old bridge over the Mississippi. As I walked along the top of the levee I came across Donald and a few of his friends fishing down by the river. While I was there nothing decent was caught but they were optimistic that after dark was the best time to catch some quality catfish.</div>

I quickly pulled to the side of the road for a chat and to make a portrait, they were apparently off to explore another section of the original Old Natchez Trace, a 444 miles historic pathway between Natchez Mississippi and Nashville Tennessee used by Native Americans as well as European and American explorers, traders, and emigrants.<br />

Seein' things that I may never see again...<br />
<br />
<br />
Well now that you all have that song stuck in your head, I will begin with my first post related to the 72 day long road trip I began today. At 10am I set off from New York City and while motoring through a torrential downpour with the sole intention of getting as far from New York as possible, I made it to Fredericksburg, Virginia.<br />
<br />
The weather is due to fine up over the coming days and I look forward to making regular updates of my travels.<br />

I instantly jumped in the car and made my way south.<br />
<br />
The first thing I saw on the way in to town was the fire station which had been literally torn in half by the wild storm. Many houses had severe damage to their roofs whilst a handful of houses where missing roofs or entire levels.<br />
<br />
From all reports I heard of the ferocity of the storm it is amazing that no one was killed or critically injured!<br />

The reason for the inactivity is because much of what I have been shooting lately has been work related and as it is yet to be published in print I cannot share it here... Stay tuned for that soon!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As I have been working to save up for my move to New York I can't help but count down the days, all 113 of them!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway I will leave you with just a couple my images from my last visit to my favourite city... I will leave it up to your imagination as to where that may be!</div>

Obama, the 44th President of the United States of America. It was one of those "once in a lifetime" kind of moments. <br />
<br />
As I was not credentialed or assigned to cover the event I decided to sit this one out in the public areas and rather than witnessing the entire day through my lens I chose to spend much of the day simply soaking up the atmosphere. I shot only a few hundred frames the entire day, many of them "spray and pray" style over the heads of the crowds in front of me!<br />
<br />
Now that I am beginning my travels back to Australia I decided that my few hours at JFK would be the perfect opportunity to sort through and share just a small handful of images from yesterday. Expect more in the coming days or weeks.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

I spent nearly an entire day up here last winter and when the skies were nice recently I couldn't help myself and just had to go back up!<br />

After a very busy few months towards the end of 2012 spent finishing university, helping to organise our graduate exhibition, and graduating I am now free and ready to get back in to the organised flow of weekly blog updates.<br />
<br />
I hope everyone enjoyed a fantastic Festive Season and a wonderful New Year. I was lucky enough to spend New Years Eve roaming about in New York's Times Square from about 8pm-1am. Whilst I can say it is not something I think I ever intend to do again it was an amazing experience and truly unforgettable, once in a lifetime kind of moment.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy the images as much as I enjoyed taking them and I look forward to bringing my work to your screens every week this year!<br />

Firstly apologies for my lack of updates of late, I plan to get back in to the swing of weekly updates from now on, especially in the next few weeks as I am just about to return home after 2 months overseas, lots of new photos and stories to share! Anyway let me start with a post I did for <a href="http://thephotobrigade.com/2012/07/covering-the-diamond-jubilee-by-angus-mordant/">The Photo Brigade</a> about my experiences covering the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.</div>

In 2000 I was one of the lucky school students to cram the steps of the Sydney Opera House to watch a ceremony welcoming Queen Elizabeth II to Sydney on a royal visit. It was my first taste of a royal occasion and it was unforgettable so in early June when I had the chance to be in London for the central weekend of Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee I naturally made the most of the opportunity to soak up the atmosphere once again.</div>

Coming all the way from Australia, and with another two months of travelling following my time in London, I had to work out a kit that was not too big or heavy, that would cover all bases and most importantly I needed weatherproofing. The kit would also need it pack in to my <a href="http://www.thinktankphoto.com/products/airport-international-v2-roller-camera-bag.aspx?code=AP-406" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #b71f14; font-family: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank" title="Think Tank Airport International">Think Tank Airport International Roller</a> for all my flights and to cart around the streets of London.</div>

With the pomp and pageantry of a royal event, especially one of this scale, it is hard for even the most die hard republican not to get excited, drape themselves in a union jack flag and sing God Save The Queen. It was absolutely fantastic to see London showing its true colours, flags adorning every building and cardboard cut outs of the royal families in many shop fronts, not to mention the myriad of souvenirs available for purchase!</div>

The trip only afforded me a few hours to myself to roam around the South Miami Beach area, enjoying the sun and taking a few photos. Enjoy!<br />

Tomorrow I leave for two months in New York during which time I will be updating weekly again.<br />
<br />
On Tuesday hundreds gathered on the streets of Sydney to farewell NSW Ambulance Service Special Casualty Access Team (SCAT) Paramedic Michael "Mick" Wilson who died in the line of duty on Christmas eve whilst conducting a rescue in the Blue Mountains.<br />

As I turned off the Thunderbolt Way in to town I was confronted with massive scale police command post where officers from across the state have called home for the past week. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Officers from the State Protection Group, State Protection Support Group, Tactical Operations Unit and Dog Squad lead the front line search through dense bushland with over head support by way of two Police Airwing helicopters as well as a dedicated group of State Crime Command Homicide Detectives whom among others lead the operations from the command post. </div><div><br />
</div><div>Whilst media access to the search area was impossible the command post still provide some interesting visuals, however due to operational requirements the identities of the officers involved in the search must be concealed and as such all faces are pixelated. </div><div><br />

<br />
It has been a very busy month with time spent photographing official state visits of US President Barack Obama and Danish Royals His Royal Highness Prince Frederik and Her Royal Highness Princess Mary. As the title suggests this post will be dedicated the incredibly brief state tour of US President Barack Obama to Canberra.<br />
<br />
Also as I have long promised I will do a mid week post with images from my week long trip to Tasmania, my coverage of the Danish royal visit will be included in that post, a bit of a stretch I know, however HRH Princess Mary is originally from Tasmania!<br />
<br />

While passing through the city today I stopped by for about 15 minutes in a break in the rain to make a few images.<br />

With my documentary project due in under 2 weeks I spent some more time with Dodge to photograph him driving his ute, I'm still not sure which I prefer so please let me know which you all prefer by email or in the comments.<br />

Originally I was photographing the words of reflection and remembrance that had been written on the American flag hanging on the World Trade Centre fence when a worker walked up with cigarette in hand to talk to a fellow worker on the inside of the fence at which point he reached up to remove his hard hat and... <b>CLICK</b>...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
After standing around for about 15 minutes waiting to have an uninterrupted view across the road I took a short burst of pictures and walked off until shortly later two undercover officers confront me to explain that the builders did not like being photographed and that I would have to give my details and potentially delete the images. After several moments chatting I enquired "But have I done anything wrong that really requires police action?" to which the officer replied "That is not the point sir..." <br />
<br />
I sure hope I'm not the only confused one here as I believe that to be the only point to being stopped, questioned and asked to delete photos by the police! Anyhow enjoy my image of several construction workers who appear completely undisturbed by my presence...<br />
