I grew up in Kentucky, but never really explored the eastern part of the state until I was an adult. As a graduate student in photography, I did a series on traditional Bluegrass musicians, and during the several trips I made, I grew to love the land and the people of Appalachia. These much more recent images were made when I once again traveled the hollers of eastern Kentucky, simply landing in small towns and photographing the people I met.
