I am a lifelong resident of South Dakota and have always thought that "the Heartland" is one of the best places in the world to live, work, raise a family and practice the art of photography. I love the quote by D.H. Lawrence that says, "The human soul needs actual beauty more than bread."

Some of these images and many more are available as cards, laminated prints, or matted and/or framed prints at this URL -->
