Presented in this blog are a couple of images from John Vachon’s 1941 trip to the town and my recreated images of the same sites in 2022-2023. These images represent just a fun little project that has meaning to me. It’s fun to walk in the footsteps of one of my photographic heroes and being able to contemplate how they went about their own projects on the same streets that I find myself photographing today.
