My god, the size of the gonads on @Frank Prince
 
They have to work with what they’ve got. I could see this working as part of a bigger campaign that uses photography to showcase a diversity of things to do in Nebraska. It could target big cities full of people who want a break from asphalt and concrete but don’t like beaches.

You know that they have asphalt and concrete in Nebraska, right? Frank Prince, for example, lives in the center of a parking lot inside of an old Photomat.
 
I kinda want to move to a tiny town in the Sand Hills and disappear. I'd be fine as long as theres a grocery store and a cafe.
Admire the big sky while picking the sand burs outta my ass, & talk to the cranes about how I used to live down south where they spent the winter. I can think of a lot worse places for an old man.
 
My first time through Nebraska, I was on a Greyhound bus. My seat mate got out to take a picture. I watched him frame a shot of a bleak, post-harvest cornfield, them get down on one knee to take an even bleaker, ground-level photo of the barren flatness.
 
Driven across Nebraska once. I'm good.
It’s sad that the senators and house reps for Nebraska didn’t have the highway run through something other than mile after mile of corn fields. Robert Byrd would have twisted and turned that highways through all kinds of cool stuff.

I really like the Sand Hills and extreme northwest corner of the state heading towards the Black Hills. Low rolling sandy hills of dry grasses and interspersed little ponds where the cranes breed in the spring. No agriculture really, a big sky treeless wilderness vibe. Theres nobody there except a few very quaint small towns of a few hundred people each. Very peaceful place with a unique beauty IMO.
