FinishedTheme: "WANDERLUST – Travels Near & Far"
Travel… everyone does it. From the freight-hopping hobos of the depression, to the jet-setting socialites of the 60’s and 70’s, to the stripped down "less is more" austerity of the here and now, travel brings us new landscapes and fresh faces — whether we want them or not. Road trip, first day at University, a walk around the block or a trip around around the world, travel brings new views and fresh perspectives.
