I'm a retired photojournalist and editor for weekly small-town newspapers, and my street photography is aligned with that vision. I think of my images as documentary street art photographs.
There’s a certain magic to small-town Wisconsin. It’s in the way the morning light hits the old brick storefronts, the way neighbors stop to chat on the sidewalk, the way the past lingers in the creak of a wooden screen door. These places aren’t just coordinates on a map; they’re the heartbeats of their communities — places where history isn’t just remembered but lived.
For years, local newspapers chronicled these towns, capturing everything from grand parades to everyday life at the corner diner. But as print media fades, so too does the photographic and narrative record of these communities. That’s where street photographers step in. We’re the new archivists, capturing slices of small-town life before they vanish.
