Small Town Snow

Winter streets in Ketchum, ID, red buildings, and the way snow quiets ordinary places.

Red small town building in winter snow

Snow makes a town speak more quietly.

Colour stands out because everything around it has been muted. A red building, a pale roof, a closed street. The photograph does not need activity to feel occupied.

Winter has a way of making stillness look deliberate.

Small Alberta towns carry a visual quiet that suits documentary photography. Snow, colour, and empty streets can say as much about place as a more obvious landmark.
