Without a doubt, some of the most interesting places are those that are on the roads less traveled. These photographs attempt to tell the story of those places but can never replace those actual pieces of history experienced in person.

I would have ideally liked to do a square book for this project but, most of my pictures are rectangular instead of square so I think the Large Landscape book will work better. I would like to work with premium paper on this book as well and make it a hard back book. It will definitely have text so I can tell the story of these pictures, the font will probably look like a font of a handwriting style. I am still debating whether I want to do a purely black and white book, only color, or both. The print standards look like they may only do one or the other. I want the book to look nostalgic but some of the colored pictures are really beautiful as well. I would appreciate any feedback ..thanks.

The Salem Witch Trials

Nothing can be creepier than graveyards but usually not so much in the middle of the day.  However this graveyard in particular was the famous Salem graveyard where all accused of witchcraft were hanged and buried in the 1600's.  Sarah Good was one of the first women to be accused of being a witch and was hanged on July 19, 1692 along with her husband John Proctor.

    The fourth image is strongest. The composition is really strong and interesting. The weakest image is the last one, would've have liked to see a more interesting composition, but the subject matter is very interesting in all the photos.

    thought provoking subject matter for sure. Makes you contemplate how good we have it now. I enjoy the pond with the barn and the Old North Church picture. The others aren't as strong, but still tell the story.

    I like the pictures and the history behind them. I don't dig so much on the Minuteman picture but the rest have good composition like thirds and just placement in general.
