My New Book, Walking in Wheeling
I’m happy to introduce my second book, Walking in Wheeling.
I first paid Wheeling, West Virginia, a visit on account of a friend who sent me a poem about the city, intending for a quiet week with a couple of books. And I paid another visit earlier this year with my dear friend Dustin. I found a beautiful city with a depth to its history and a complexity to its present, with some committed people betting on its future and drinking at The Bridge Tavern. I walked its streets for hours on end, camera in hand.
Walking in Wheeling is a photographic record of that first encounter and the return trip, alongside writing by Dustin, me, and a handful of characters from the city’s past.
The book is available today on my shop—and RSVP is open for a special preview show at the studio at 7:30 PM on Wednesday, November 20th.
Thanks to Kath Keur for producing and designing the book, Dustin Mix for curating the historical writings, Samuel Piccolo for sending me a poem, and Doug Carl for the welcome.
