Steven Welch - "Living in the Land of the 39th State" - (from Vacaville, CA)

Born and raised as a California kid, Steven Welch was in for a shock when he left the warm weather and sunny skies of Northern California for the harsh Winters and humid Summers of North Dakota. Steven resided in Minot for four years, arguably one of the coldest locations in the United States; but that didn't keep his camera in his bag.
