The People of Townshend, Vermont is a documentary project I worked on from 1998 through 2003.

During that time I photographed some 100 people in that small town in southern Vermont — a place I have known since 1933.

The photographs were made in medium format.
Exhibitions have been in Townshend, and the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, Vermont; at Colby College in Maine; and at the Westport Public Library in Connecticut.

Vermont Life published selections in the summer 2003 issue coinciding with Townshend's 250th anniversary.
