Small Towns

Small towns are a catch-all project. It is for the old buildings that are empty and no longer feeling any love, to those that are falling down. The building might be a long abandoned home where the previous owners just picked up what few belongings that wanted and left the rest. They could be homes, churches, schools or businesses. Some of the homes would remind you of visits to Grandma and Grandpa’s and for just a moment you are transmitted back in time, where you can imagine the excitement of each visit, to recall the hugs, the laughter and even smell the meals that were being prepared. We can’t really go back in time, but a photograph can help bring you back there for just a fleeting second. It is why we not only take a photograph, but it is important to print the photograph so we can share those memories with others.
