Our town is still small enough that we have an annual budget meeting, where the citizens have the opportunity to ask questions and comment on proposed spending for the upcoming year. Here's a slice of small town life: the mayor seated at the table, the town manager and superintendent of schools chatting with townspeople, and a few folk reviewing the charts and tables before the meeting starts. Poster Edges made it into a sketch of local democracy.
Small town life is so different. I really like it. When we moved here 18 years ago this was a small town and the shopkeepers knew your name. Not so any more!!
...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.
Somehow, a camera allows me to see more deeply and awakens the eye. For me, undertaking these year-long challenges is a way to become more aware of the world that swirls around me.
What a winning shot - something I have never seen! Only in a small town...

ReplyDeleteGreat to see the townspeople out to participate in their government! Great capture.
ReplyDeleteNice glimpse of small town life in action. It's refreshing to see there is such community participation.
ReplyDeleteI like this view of small-town government in action. So New England...
ReplyDeleteThat's a really interesting subject and a nice effect for it. Not too many in the audience so I suppose there were no volatile budget items.
ReplyDeletesmall towns are my fav. if only they had enough work to go around...
