Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Laura DeCapua & Geoff Hansen

In Thornton Wilder’s play Our Town, Emily Webb wonders from the grave, Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Now’s your chance: “Our Town: A Snapshot of Tunbridge Residents in 2011, ” at Tunbridge Public Library through March 10, immortalizes the farmers, artists, students, hunters, business owners, retirees and other characters who make up the small community. Geoff Hansen and Laura DeCapua, longtime photo editor and former photographer for the Valley News, respectively, captured the faces, and landscape, of Tunbridge, so that viewers can realize life, if not “every, every minute,” then at least for the duration of a library visit.
