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

Some of the most important people in the Salem witch trials that were hung first were placed in a courtyard next to the graveyard where all the others are buried.  Along the threshold going into the courtyard there is an inscription that is the statement all who were accused had to say before they could be released.  "Lord Hear me.....I am wholly innocent of such wickedness....If I confess I should save my life...I am innocent..I do plead not guilty...I AM NOT A WITCH."  Sadly many of them would not confess and were hanged anyway.
