Village Green

Something I noticed early in my travels was that not all towns had a public square. For one to exist, the place couldn’t be too big or too small.

A county seat usually had one. Small cities did not.

As a wandering newspaper photographer, looking for something for that day’s edition, the square was fertile ground.

I still go back to these versions of the village green from time to time.

This session in Greenville, Illinois was the perfect spot for a small town portrait.
