What is the American West? Why, to so many people, is it a genre, a time period, and a specific landscape? Why is ones idea of The West so often informed by books, movies, photographs, and musical styles, rather than our own experience of a place? My attempt to understand my home in the American West, and others' perception of this place, have resulted in an on-going survey that asks these very questions.

I would love your feedback, either through the blog, or through this website.
