Inspired by the small town of Terry Montana…

My idea for a photo project involves small towns. The type of small towns I like are described below.

Small town: not a ghost town as that’s empty with nothing to do. Not a tourist spot as that’s turned to replicate what it’s not. A small town is on the edge. There’s an authenticity as the town works for itself, services the locals and looks to make it. Unpretentious taverns, small cafes and local businesses. A latent nostalgia exists without being overplayed. Small towns are typically trapped between a “then” and a “future”. It’s a “now” on the edge.

Here are a couple of small town links:
