A photoset about one of the poorest counties in America. These residents often go without water and electricity, and their dwellings are filthy. The photos that hit me hardest I think are the ones of the girls getting ready for prom at their houses. It’s exactly like Cinderella except the girls know that there’s not a lot of hope for a happy ending- much like the Gypsy/Traveller weddings. It’s weird because a lot of my family were coal miners in/around Appalachia, I’m not exactly sure how they got out though.

I have to thank my friend Burgess for introducing me to this absolutely fantastic duo, Shovels and Rope.

They’re so damn fantastic, I can’t get enough.

We are a little band called Shovels & Rope. We are from Charleston, SC and we travel all over the land in our “covered wagon” van with our hound dog. We are small but mighty and we are happy to being doing what we love. We are a very lucky band.
