How do you count the 50?
How should I count the # of states I've been to?
Does a state "count" if you have just driven through it?
Does a state "count" if you lived there from the age of 2-3 and have little to no recollection?
Does a state "count" if you have been there 15 times but never left the airport?

I discussed with my chums almost forty years ago, and the view we came up is the one I stick to now. If you breath the air within a state, you've been there. This means you've "been to" that state even if you land at an airport within its boundaries and never get off the plane.
Otherwise you end up arguing what is an "adequate" visit to a state. If you live in Buffalo for twenty years but never get to the Big Apple, have you really "been to" New York?
The only other objective test is spending at least night sleeping within a state's boundaries, including hotels at airports while stranded.
Right now I'm working on photographing the state capitol buildings of all fifty states. I'm at 48.
