    New York-based photographer Jo Ann Walters grew up in a small working class town in the Mississippi River Valley where industrial labor was prevalent—”nearly everyone I knew had fathers, brothers, husbands, sons, friends and lovers who labored in these local factories, working night shifts, calculating the material and emotional expense of holiday pay and overtime, and who often drank hard and steady,” she recalls. Her own grandfather and father included, having once owned a small sheet metal fabrication shop.
