Douglas Yarrow writes of his more than three decades of picture-taking in and around West Virginia: “making photographs has put me in some of the most exciting places in my life, from lovely Appalachian scenery to scary union standoffs. Most important were the wonderful people who were invariably willing to accept me, help me, feed me, and share their warm, warm, hearts. I thank David Rapheal, now of Portland, who worked for the Council of the Southern Mountains in 1965-66 as did I, for many hours of computer work scanning and emailing these photos.”
