There is a saying, "It was a Friday night and it seemed like a good idea at the time." That sums up the beginning of the State Capitols Project.

When Jane Moorman told her brother of her idea of photographing state capitols, he said, "You do know there are 50 states and two of them you can't drive to."

Her answer was, "Your point is? It gives me a good reason to visit every state."

Each capitol has its own unique beauty that reflects the state's personality when it was built.

Washington is the only state in the Union that is named after a U.S. President, George Washington. There are more than 500 images of the first president in the state capitol.

A five-ton chandelier, known as the Angels of Mercy, suspended from the interior dome lights the rotunda which has superb acoustics.
