I spent a few days in Appalachia during my Spring Break. I wanted to continue a project on the timber industry and extraction in general, but logistics and bad weather got in the way and I ended up with only one real day of shooting. This is my favorite frame from the day, its tough to run around those mountains, especially carrying a chainsaw, and this lumberjack was taking a moment to survey his progress.
The work was part of Western Kentucky’s ongoing photojournalism workshop, the Appalachian Culture Project. The week produced a lot of great work, and it was relaxing to see old friends again. Check out the entire site at http://www.acpworkshop.org/
