I have been thinking about the difference between art photography and journalistic photography. (Sometimes the two combine in one photo, but I'm a long way from that.) I was visiting a small city recently where the paper mill had shut down a few years ago. This is a place I knew well many years ago. While the residents strive to keep their town vibrant, the signs of economic hardship once the major employer left town are all around. I decided to try a photo essay.
