In Fall 2019, I got the opportunity to travel to the Lens Collective Multimedia Conference at the University of Mississippi. Middle Tennessee State University was one of seven universities participating in the immersive workshop. Each student was tasked with pairing up with a student from another university and a journalism professional.
I was paired Alie Skowronski and Josh Birnbaum of Ohio University to tell the story of Poultry In Motion. Kerry O'Donoghue and Kevin Guyer are New England natives, but 15 years ago, the couple decided to move to Water Valley, Mississippi, to live a simpler life.
My favorite part of this project was allowing the subjects to tell their story. This was the first time I told a story this way, and I love the way it turned out.
