In honor of the celebration of America’s independence taking place tomorrow, I have gathered my top 10 photos which showcase the American experience. From visiting patriotic landmarks to soaking in the aspects of everyday life that seem to scream “All-American,” this collection of photographs spans both time and space. From coast to coast, from the simplest Kodak EasyShare to the full-frame Canon EOS 6D, here are my top 10 All-American photos.
