Directions from Locals

Summer 2021 In an exploration of how individuals form relationships with structures in their day-to-day lives, I asked locals around my home town what structures they use for directions, and some structures, like the not-pink Pink Bank, are ones I used to use for directions. Insignificant and common buildings one may normally gloss over make a prominent impact on those who live around them, and these photos enable the viewer to accept these sights with new context and new appreciation.
