Sometimes our work is a bit like soup- it has to sit for awhile before the flavors can fully blend to their perfect point. There's a good variety of images here, and not having spent much time in that part of the country, I can tell you that I objectively feel a sense of place that's very particular and special. I especially love the image that you chose as the title shot... and the one of the boys on the ATV is a standout too. Your work always impresses me... you seem to be able to adapt your picture making to the subject and let he/she/it speak for itself.

I guess the real question is are you happy with the story the images tell? Tim, I like the images in the series, especially since many resonate personally with me, being from Appalachia (kinda).

I really like the photo of the kids on the ATV and the couple that follow that with the man swimming and the reflection of the house is pretty rad too. John Hey Tim,

Some nice stuff in there. I really like the photo of the kids on the ATV and the couple that follow that with the man swimming and the reflection of the house is pretty rad too.

Personally, I'm still recovering from that class. It's like I'm still finding wounds I didn't know I had .. but it was one that changed how I thought and the further I get from it the more I see how it was a turning point. I like this edit better.
