    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.

    The photo in this gallery of the funeral procession was taken with my professional camera. I did it this way for two reasons. First, I didn’t have a good photo from my phone to post but I wanted to share the story of a civilian killed in tragic circumstances. Second, in the context of a funeral, when people are allowing you to photograph a very personal and difficult situation you owe it to the family to make strong pictures, with a purpose. Something about pulling out a phone to photograph a corpse strikes me as undermining the promise of professionalism that allowed access in the first place.
