Abstract
I received the Research and Creative Works Grant Scholarship to pursue a project concerning our “sense of place” in the western United States. The concept was to travel to six major cities west of the Rockies (Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Francisco, Salt Lake, and Seattle) and collect an extensive amount of two types of images from each city. The two types of images to be collected were moving film images taken by actually being in a place, and mass media images representing that same place. I intended to keep in mind the differences between the attitudes I felt from these media representations and actually being there. I also looked for some kind of shared sense of place portrayed by the media of each place.
