Brendan Hoffman: Webster City | LENSCRATCH

Brendan Hoffman ‘s project, Webster City, speaks, in a profound way, to America today. It’s the America that is often overlooked, often forgotten, and may have affected the outcome of our recent presidential election. What happens to a community reliant on one employer, when that company moves its business elsewhere?  Brendan has provided a thoughtful photographic essay on Americans trying to cope with change and loss, noting his own struggles with the dilemma of a journalist interpreting a community and a lost American dream , as an outsider.
