"To photograph this life with my people [the Appalachian community] is endless because they are open to expression. They are not naive. Having a somewhat practical sense, my pictures are intended both for my people in Appalachia as well as a museum in New York City. I believe that photography and art should and can serve all people; that’s part of my mission, to bring together culture, not to isolate."
