Appalachian traveling western America - Hello!

[PaperTea]

I am new here and still kind of new to traveling on my own. I was born in Tennessee and spent most of my life there. I am traveling with a wheeled luggage bag for my laptop, my cameras, etc. And a shoulder bag with a few shirts and a coat. I've couchsurfed, stayed in hostels and airbnb, slept outside on a tent, slept on a train, and slept at the Denver International airport once.

I am in Seattle, Washington right now after coming here to take photographs. I have been trying to get certified for Google Street View to be added to their "for hire" index for several months and I finally got approved this week!

I am traveling to Los Angeles, California this week and going to an interview to get work exchange. I also want to try voice acting while I am there. I have never been to California or done voice acting, but I wanted to give it a try and it gives me a new place to take photographs of and expand my portfolio.

That's my introduction. Thanks.

Doug Rickard published a book called "A New American Picture" he basically "re-photographed" google street view images and made them his own art. But a lot of the images are pretty interesting, and its back when street view was using a different kind of camera, so the pictures come out pretty spooky, look it up.

Welcome to STP! That's pretty cool taking pics for the google street view - I use this all the time getting around and looking for places. Good luck on your California endeavors!

I see Google street view on the highway sometimes. That would be a pretty great way to travel and get paid.

Good luck to you!
