'This is not 1925. This is 2025.' Moravian Trail Road residents want clean, reliable water "We want to live normal lives," Stephanie Shaw said. When her children were at home, they often had to decide which one of them could take a shower.

"We were going to the laundromat all the time. We bought a dryer last year, and I think we used it three times … We didn't have enough water to wash clothes."

I can feel the man-on-the-street assignment coming now: ‘hey, what gets you talking?’ 🤣🙄💀

And, I think some of our choice to not engage has everything to do with brain chemistry. Modern science tells us there’s much more benefit to the doom scrolling than the singular engagements, likely because of the massive dopamine hits involved.

I see you.

Your honesty is felt.

You’ve arrived at the paradox of social media, in my experience: how and when do I choose to engage with one voice in the void wherein everyone is feeding it nonstop energy — good, bad, and all that falls between?

The answer I find revolves around authenticity.

I’ll hopefully be posting here a bit more frequently as the bird site continues to become, well … you know.

I took a look back at my work from this year's Tuscarawas County Fair, and put together a 'best of' gallery. Many thanks for Detroit Free Press staff photojournalist Mandi Wright for the edit!

You’ll want to do this via an actual computer, but it’s all here: onpa.org

Are there any photographers based in Ohio here in this space? I’ve grown weary of the other platforms and would love to hear from other folks in the visuals world.
