I started working on this project in June. Free Press reporter Sam Hemingway wanted to explore the OxyContin problem in Franklin County, specifically St. Albans, Vermont. I was asked to shoot this story and I had been craving a long-term, in-depth photo story and this absolutely fit the bill. Sam's interviews were fantastic, he made his subjects feel comfortable delving back into terrible memories of their battles with drug addiction. The sessions were emotional and raw.I was in charge of photography and audio collection. After sorting through hours of interviews and hundreds of photos, I've edited it down to this audio slideshow:
Please take two minutes out of your day to absorb this story as it truly is a nationwide problem and it's happening in all of our neighborhoods.
