Teacher/Photographer Wendy Ewald taught photography to children in four schools in a coal mining region in the mountains of eastern Kentucky. The children made powerful photographs of family and rural life, from the inside. At the same time, they made photographs of what could not be seen--their dreams, desires, fears, and wishes. Ewald went on to work with kids and photography all over the world, and to receive a MacArthur "Genius Grant" for her work.
