A Rockfish Valley Photographer and His Poetry Wayne H Drumheller

This is my story in signature and classic black and white photography and narrative and lyrical poetry about growing up, living in and returning to the Rockfish River Valley, Nelson County, Virginia. It is where I met school mates, friends, writers, artists, poets, young and young at heart, who told me stories of the place they called home. Others told me it was the place they left when young, and returned later to raise children and grandchildren. Some, like me, came from work places and large communities and stayed into retirement and second careers. It's a place with rivers, some shallow--others deep--that flow through valleys and ravines with a history of their own.
