Feels Like Home
Summers County, West Virginia.
These mountains are old, and so are the rivers that run through them. Hosting the second oldest river in the world, this area serves as a confluence where the New River and Greenbrier River collide. These images are part of an ongoing project where I explore the county, visiting places both familiar and new, aiming to capture the unique landscape and culture. They also serve as a personal memoir, depicting my feelings of home.
“The effort to know a place deeply is, ultimately, an expression of the human desire to belong, to fit somewhere.” - Barry Lopez
