Who We Are: Photographic Journey Through Small Town America

“A Photographic Journey Through Small Town America” is a series of photography books created from a two-year project in which I traveled the back roads of America seeking to discover the essence of life in small towns. From the thousands of images documenting hundreds of towns, I discerned common themes that were evident in multiple towns across the country. I am featuring these themes in individual books. This one is called “Who We Are.” It contains images depicting murals that small towns have created displaying the town name. The murals represent the image that the town projects, how others see them and how they view themselves. The murals are as varied as the towns’ cultures. They reflect what is important to the town’s identity and what they are proud of.
