Appalachia 1981

Milton Rogovin’s 1981 photograph, “Appalachia”, captures a man standing on his porch, arms crossed. The photograph, taken as part of Rogovin's extensive documentation of the Appalachian region, showcases the harsh realities of life in a rural community. The man's clothing and the weathered porch, overgrown with vegetation, speak to the challenges faced by many in Appalachia. The image stands as a testament to Rogovin's commitment to portraying the lives of ordinary people and their connection to their environment.
