Great work coming from Daniel Shea on his series "Plume", and in his words:
"Plume is a photographic exploration of Southeast Ohio and its unusually dense concentration of coal-fired power plants. The project serves as a follow-up to the work I made in 2007 in Appalachia, Removing Mountains, which focused on mountaintop removal, a particularly pervasive form of coal mining. Plume tracks this coal up river to Ohio, where it is being burned to generate electricity. Geographically rooted in two towns along the Ohio River, the project focuses on Racine and Cheshire, who sit in close proximity to 4 power plant stations, all within a 15-mile radius."
