Oklahoma

In driving recently from Tulsa to Plano, Texas, I looked at a map to see how far out of the way Okemah, Oklahoma, the hometown of folk singer Woody Guthrie, was. It turned out that it wasn’t too far out of the way, making it the perfect sidetrack.

Woody Guthrie had a unique way of looking at the world. He lived in a different time that some days seems so far away and so close other days.

Perhaps the true mark of a destination should be how photographable it is.
