Introduction edit

Since October 2018, I've taken to traveling across the great U.S. state of North Carolina to photograph the small towns (and occasional big cities) within its borders. This gallery is a collection of most of that effort, with a handful of photos from before that time. I've visited over 200 towns, but some of them already had pictures on Wikipedia, so only over 150 different communities are represented in the photographs below. All photos are licensed in such a manner that they can be re-used without cost or personal inquiries for permission, and I welcome anyone to re-use them (it's why they're here!), though attribution is always appreciated.
