The Beauty in Missouri
When you hear people talk about places they want to travel, they usually list other countries like England or Mexico, or vacation states like Florida or California. Even in fictional American media, stories are oftentimes set in the urban areas of states along the east or west coasts. You rarely ever hear of Missouri in the media, or hear someone say, "I'd love to take the family on vacation to Missouri this summer."
Sure, Missouri has some tourist attractions, like the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. Many people don't seem to realize how much natural beauty, history, and hidden wonders that Missouri holds. Having been born and raised here, I've made it part of my mission with photography to capture everything that this state has to offer, from the simplistic beauty of rural landscapes to the hidden wonders that not even the locals are aware of.
