Photographer Scott Pasfield shares with us his project ‘Gay America,’ a road trip of sorts in which he visited out and proud gay men across the states of America. Starting in February 2008 and finishing in Hawaii a couple weeks ago, Scott has made it to all states, a journey in which he drove over 26,000 miles and flew about the same distance. Capturing the men at their home element in over a hundred shoots, Scott’s images tell a story where the personal and political become one. More after the jump.
