Young Serpent Handler Story in The Wall Street Journal

As is the case with many of my photo stories, this project is ongoing, and my perspective has shifted somewhat since I met the young serpent-handlers for the first time last December. Stay tuned for a blog post about my most recent trip to Tennessee!
