A Photographer's Daybook

Dec 24, 2016

This summer, during the floods that ravaged West Virginia, The Oxford American sent me out on an assignment to photograph for Catherine Venable Moore's story The Book Of The Dead, an investigation into the Hawk's Nest Tunnel Disaster.

My daybook from that time is now online.Â It includes a recounting of the days I spent in Fayette County, photographing for theÂ story.Â Â
