Christine Kelly

Christine Kelly has been a member since 9 November 2007 and goes by DomesticImages.

I am a writer and photographer who left the structure of downtown Toronto to venture into the great American Midwest 8 years ago.

My elevator ride down 27 floors to a concrete metropolis was replaced by journeys down an Interstate through rolling hills. I currently live in the Upper Midwest.

The US is like everything you've ever known - only more so. Can America still be discovered? I think so.
