West Virginia Coal

This series is a documentation of a six month investigation into the origins of the coal supply at the Baltimore coal terminal and the coal that was burned at a Baltimore power plant. 

Traveling down to the southern mountain ranges of West Virginia, I documented the surface of coal mines from the air and on the ground.  From interviews with coal miners and industry professionals, to chartering a flight over active mines,  I investigated the extraction of coal from various perspectives through drawing, photography, and video.
