An
American Journey

by Richard Olsenius

 

Rectilinear clouds over the Arizona mountains form when air is forced to rise, cooling it and leading to cloud formation. Consequently, this stable air flows over the 8,553-foot Mt. Hopkins, where it can generate mountain waves in the atmosphere. These waves can produce parallel, elongated clouds in the crests of the oscillations. The small white dot on Mt. Hopkins is the Whipple observatory run by the University of Arizona and the Smithsonian.. ©2025 Richard Olsenius.

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

As a photographer who spent years covering rural America, I never saw it coming, the “great divide,” that chasm between urban and rural, liberal and conservative, the loss of civility and social norms that we all grew up with.
