Hailey's Homework, D&F Mine, 2013
Eight-year-old Hailey's dad is a coal miner. She is dropped off by her school bus each afternoon at the dirt road, blackened by coal dust, which leads to the mine. Sitting in her dad's truck, surrounded by suspended cables, loaders, trucks, and piles of coal, she quietly works on her schoolwork until he returns to the surface from underground and they go home.
