This project has been a collaborative effort with Leslie Grant, an MFA student at Rochester Institute of Technology. She began making and collecting photographs of the Hampton Corners mine and its workers in 2002. Her work departs from traditional ideas of documentary as a privileged source of truth, or a transparent window onto the world. It accepts the photograph as a construction rather than a transcription, and in doing so promotes multiple readings of the work. Her photography in this section is divided into three parts: photographs of the mine, portraits of workers holding their helmets, and photographs that were contributed by the miners themselves.

This image was taken inside the Hampton Corners mine, approximately 1200' feet below the surface of the earth. The murky underwater quality of the image is the result of airborne salt particles, which aren't a health hazard but do leave a sticky film on your skin.
