A small town doesn’t necessarily mean small opportunities for photographic material - at least until one is educated by a handy local, lifelong resident about the cold, hard truth of the area. Or maybe not.Come along on an image laden journey through the eyes of an infidel - or at the very least, an ignorant outsider - through a small corner of what should be considered a boring and ordinary world, sliced from a small town settled among the sage at the margins of the great Palouse Region of Washington (the state… not D.C…. the District of Corruption… I mean, Columbia… which, now that you say it, is a little confusing, because the Columbia River is downhill from up here in Connell. And you know what they say flows downhill… thus obviously pooling down in the settling pond (cesspool) that is DC. - well, unless you’re purchasing this book and happen to be born or live in Washington, DC, then, obviously you aren’t part of that description. Obviously.)Through this virtual, visual exploration, we’ll cover: the Journey of Truth, the Five Days Before Truth, the Truth Exposed, Nothing Is Interesting; all before arriving at an interesting conclusion and even more impressive Epilogue provided by Brooklyn Mayson, the inspiration for this book.Additional bonus sections include projects to help you explore your own humdrum world in what I would hope would be a new light through a couple projects: From My Porch and the Look & See exercises. (Don’t tell anyone, but I’ve also slipped in some entire folders of pictures from during this trip to help the intrepid and budding visionary see the entire photographic haul from my five days where Nothing Interesting tried to exist. Plus a few train pictures. Gotta have train pictures.)
