Further Back

When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate I shall be content with silence.”- Ansel Adams

From 1997 through 2006

A Day of Campaigning

I followed a candidate for Kentucky State Senate one cold February day in 2006. A wintery mix of rain, sleet, and snow fell has he campaigned door to door in his district. He went on to win this, and subsequent races, through 2020. These are a few of the images from that day.

Each of the participants looked as if they were in their element and would not want to be anywhere else. Following are a few of the images I captured from this exciting time.
