Towns

by Philip Greenspun, 1993-1996

Woodstock, Vermont is everyone's favorite restored New England town. It is pretty well filled up with tour buses and a little too scrubbed to be all that interesting a photographic subject IMHO. Anyway, here are some samples...

In order not to slight New Hampshire too hard, I guess it would be fair to point out Center Sandwich, a very white town full of white people with a white church and a white cemetery. It is centrally sandwiched between the White Mountains and Lake Winnipesaukee at the junction of routes 113 and 109.

Note: It can be extremely helpful to have a view camera and/or a perspective correction lens for a 35mm SLR if you want to get good pictures of churches. Unfortunately, most of the good churches in New England seem to be obstructed by powerlines.

In the town of Center Sandwich it is against the law to paint your house or any other building anything but white.
