My name is Brian Schutmaat and I’m a photographer from Austin, Texas. I travel all over America looking for subject matter that moves me in one way or another and that says something about who we are as a nation. I think America is interesting to photograph because of this sense of possibility that comes from the vastness of the country and its geography. You’re not bound by anything and you can go anywhere and do anything and this is reflected in the concept of the American dream. Despite the shortcomings or the troubles that we see in America, that’s a beautiful mentality. For the Timex American Documents project, I started as far east as you can go in the United States on the coast of Maine in Acadia National Park. Moving east to west, I photographed in Texas which is my home state and then the southwest region of the United States where you can find epic landscapes like Monument Valley and Bryce Canyon. And then I moved north up into the mountainous regions of Montana. I took this picture of the palace theater which is in Marfa, Texas. Marfa
