The power of photography in Matt Eich’s Carry Me Ohio - C-VILLE WeeklyC-VILLE Weekly

Ten years before they were blamed and credited with helping to elect Donald Trump the 45th president of the United States, the white working class in post-industrial southeastern Ohio was documented by Matt Eich. A 19-year-old student of photojournalism at Ohio University at the time, Eich, now a Charlottesville resident, had grown tired of what he calls the college bubble. “I wanted to see what lives were like outside of that bubble. I found family, love, tenderness, tenacity, all kinds of other things,” he says. And this October, just before the election, he published a collection called Carry Me Ohio. The first edition was released worldwide in a print run of 600 and sold out in a month.

Photographs from Detroit: Survival, renewal and urban farming
▻http://blogs.denverpost.com/captured/2013/10/24/detroit-photos-urban-farming-community-renewal/6451
Erica Yoon visited Detroit in October 2012 to investigate urban gardening initiatives for a project as a graduate student in photojournalism at Ohio University. The idea of urban farms popping up amid the chaos in Detroit seemed to be a great way to visualize how people were attempting to weather the economic storm there. She spent ten days meeting people, photographing and trying to parse what she’d read about Detroit from what she was hearing from people on the ground.

A bridal party walks across 14th Street between Dalzelle Street and Michigan Avenue after a photo shoot inside the burned house on the left in downtown Detroit across from the historical Michigan Central Train Station. The two houses were part of a project called Imagination Station, an effort to place art in unoccupied spaces. Late last June the house on the left, named Lefty, caught fire and spread to the second house, Righty. This was not the first time the houses caught fire. (Photo by Erica Yoon) “...if you live in this stuff 24/7, it’s not cute. And it’s not art. It’s just not art. So if you want to make it art, you know for a minute, that’s fine. But let’s not keep it at that state. Because you trying to make it into something that’s pretty. It’s not pretty. Because we live here.” - Nefertiti Harris, owner of Nefertiti Salon in Detroit

  #D-Town_farm
  In June 2007 we acquired use of a ½ acre lot, on Collingwood at Cascade, on Detroit’s westside, owned by the Pan African Orthodox Christian Church. This site had previously been used as a garden site by the church, but had not been under cultivation for a few years. We named the site D-Town Farm. ; We created beds, walkways, an irrigation system, developed a team of daily crew leaders, acquired additional tools and sold produce both at the site itself and at Eastern Market. We held our First Annual Harvest Festival in September of 2007. We fully expected to plant at the site in the April of 2008, but we were notified in March that the church had plans for its own use of the site.

  Community food security network
  The organization was founded to ensure that Detroit’s African American population participated in the food movement and because we are the vast majority of the population in Detroit, that we are in the leadership on that movement locally.
