California State Capitol

By: Moorman, Jane

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.

Goddess Minerva is a reoccurring symbol throughout California's capitol. According to ancient Roman mythology, she was born fully grown. Her image symbolizes California's direct rise to statehood, since it was not a territory before becoming a state.
