Hi everyone,
I recently had the idea of doing a personal project. Something that would keep me shooting especially during the winter months. The idea I had was to shoot the smaller historic downtown areas in my home state of North Carolina. We have a ton of these smaller "historic" downtown areas. A lot of them look similar with this brick style architecture. I'm mostly focusing on the Main St. area of the downtown. Almost all of these towns have a Main St. It also helps me to focus on an area rather than trying to run around and capture everything. I'm calling this project "Main St. NC."
I want the photos of this project to all have a similar style. Buildings lit up during late sunset/blue hour, before dark. This presents its own challenge as this time of year blue hour does not last very long. I had to kind of hustle and I wasn't able to get all of the shots I wanted in 1 visit.
These are what I deemed to be the best from my first stop in this series. A small town called Roxboro. The great thing about this project is it can go on forever really. It's going to take me months if not years to visit and photograph all of the towns I'd like to. I may even end up revisiting some locations. When I've got enough towns maybe I'll put them all in a book or something.
