Small Town, U.S.A. records the characteristic appearance that many small towns in the South share. Calos documents stores, businesses, restaurants, and roadsides along the outskirts of town to the quaint Main Streets downtown. The "vintage" look to these images was due to an processing error in the color film. The resulting change from color to tinted black and white was accidental, but it appealed to Calos' and he accepted the gaffe as art by accident, due to the vintage quality it bestows on the subjects.
