This series is an ongoing project about the city of Joplin MO.  Joplin is a town that holds a special place in my families heart as my husband Gabriel grew up there.  This series has taken already 2 years and several months in an attempt to show the destruction of an F5 Tornado and how it changes a place over time.  The images are of places before and after.  The before images are immediately after the tornado ripped a 6 mile x 1/2 mile stripe through the center of the town.  I am dedicated to this project for as long as I am able.  I hope to take images every 2 years.

First gallery is a sampling of the images just two months after the storm. 6/23/11

Second Gallery is Two years after. 6/15/13
