Proud to announce my photo on the cover of the recent anthology Appalachian Reckoning. The photo was taken while working in conjunction with Looking At Appalachia and on my long-term personal project Like An Echo. Appalachian Reckoning was published in response to J.D. Vance’s #1 New York Times Bestseller Hillbilly Elegy.

I captured the image just off the main road leading up to Wayah Bald in Macon County, North Carolina. It’s a beautiful place made all the more beautiful by its history. Like An Echo explores the construct of home while asking, can geography be a part of your history though one doesn’t exist there?
