These photographs are a record of several weeks spent in Minnesota, followed by a road-trip to Toronto, moving up past the Great Lakes and through the beautiful and economically troubled state of Michigan. Yet, as is so often the case, this photo essay is more about the act of moving through a place or a landscape than it is about the landscape being traveled through. The images calls to mind the German word Fernweh, which roughly translates as 'farsickness' and expresses the desire to be somewhere other than where you are now. It is the opposite of homesickness, although it also expresses the longing for a place that used to be home.
