In recent years, Morris has taken his camera stateside, the results of which were published in "My America" by Steidl in 2006. Christopher Morris’s My America was produced while on assignment for TIME magazine covering the first and now second administrations of U.S. President George W. Bush. Morris describes My America as his personal journey into a Republican America. Through portraits and landscapes, Morris hopes that the viewer "sees what he saw and feels what he felt-a nation that has wrapped its eyes so tightly in red, white, and blue that it has gone blind." My America is the first monograph of Morris’s work.
