In his upcoming book SLANT, Aaron Schuman documents life in Amherst, Massachusetts, with photographs inspired by blurbs in the local newspaper’s crime blotter. The brief descriptions of police calls are deadpan and unintentionally hysterical, but even in these 50 word mini-articles, full stories and characters suggest themselves. Have a look and consider checking out your own local small-town paper’s crime reports. What happens next?
