Christchurch Red Zone Tour: March 2012

From “Paris” by Adam Bartos
I’m about to head out for a 2 week residency in rural Michigan and while I have a lot of things on my mind and a lot of things I could work on there I keep trying to remind myself to keep things simple and look at what’s in front of me. Perhaps the last thing I should be doing right now is creating more negatives for me to edit through later, but the opportunities to do so also shouldn’t be squandered… who cares if I have two huge projects I’m currently trying to edit.

South Bend, Ind. was once a company town but when the Studebaker plant closed in 1968 the town lost a third of its population and unemployment soared. “There are some parts of town where you’d think the closure of Studebaker was something that happened a couple of years ago, not 50,” says Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
Photographer Peter Hoffman traveled to South Bend and documented the struggling town for NPR’s Cities Series. Listen to the story and see more photos on NPR.org.
