THE AMERICAN WEST

EXPLORE THE AMERICAN WEST AND THE PEOPLE THAT CALL THIS HOME

As a photojournalist for over 50 years, I was always drawn to the American West, to the rolling prairies beyond the Missouri River, to a land that slowly rose to meet the continental divide.

NOVA SCOTIA

A LAND OF WIND-SWEPT COASTS & SMALL FISHING VILLAGES

Nova Scotia boasts breathtaking coastal landscapes, characterized by rugged cliffs, picturesque lighthouses, and charming fishing villages. Join me as I explore in narration, images and music, this rich maritime culture.

A Photographer’s Search for Small Town Values

An American Journey is a visual poem to rural America, the values that once grounded it and the changes in those values brought on by the Make America Great Again movement.

 

By Richard Olsenius
