Re: Faces and Places of Appalachia
I'll leave you today with a few images of fine hard working Appalachian folks.
I snuck in a few large format images here. The inside of the store was shot on 8x10 and a 6-1/2 wide angle Dagor. Most likely on TX but the point is, it's really hard to shoot 8x10 or LF for that matter in these conditions.

A few more fine folks to wash the ugliness away.

Doing these photo's over fifty years many of the people would give you the shirt off their back if they like you and the best way to be liked is treat them with respect.
I'll end with these today and hope I'm not offending or boring anyone.
The final shot is a common sight in Appalachia. Evidence of peoples faith is all around us.

The squinty-eyed lady holding a picture is a classic, and deserves to be hung beside something Dorothea Lange might have taken.
Re: Faces and Places of Appalachia
These are amazing images. It would be a great book with an exhibition

Both Dorothea Lange and Paul Strand would have been proud to make these portraits.
Have you ever exhibited this work, or had it published anywhere?
These pictures, the portraits and the others, deserve a wider audience than on this site.
