On this West Virginia Morning, a West Virginia photographer is representing Team USA in the 2026 World Photographic Cup in Iceland this week – and he’s there because of a photo he almost didn’t take. We hear from longtime photographer for the West Virginia Legislature and two-time winner of the Professional Photographers of West Virginia Photographer of the Year award, Perry Bennett.

Also, a federal hearing in three weeks could determine the next step for the historic but struggling Greenbrier Resort.

And, it’s time to get your bird feeders out. The hummingbirds are here.
