The Mantra Mobile

The other day I got to work on a really interesting assignment. Sherri Lynn Wood, an artist who is temporarily staying at a local artist retreat, created the Mantra Trailer. It is a 1970s white trailer that Wood covered with mantras that have been recorded by project participants. Her project is to travel all over the country and record peoples mantras in the trailer. The inside of the trailer is amazing but you wont see any photos of it because Wood like it to be a secret for the participants. The greatest thing about the project is hearing the mantras that she records. They really are quite amazing and you can hear them at www.mantratrailer.com . And while you're at it check out my really awsome slide show that made out of the day we spent with her by clicking on the top photo below

Thanksgiving vacay.....

I know this may sound odd but it sure is good to have the old Rachel back...

Family of the Year











The other day I photographed a single mom that adopted three kids ages 2, 4, 5. They were a handful but the mother seemed happy to have them around.

an unlikely pairing.....

A couple weeks ago I hung out with the son of Jerry Falwell, Jonathan Falwell, who now runs the Thomas Road Baptist mega Church in lynchburg. While Jonathan and I disagree about almost everything in the world it still wasn't such a bad couple of hours. He was very candid and let me just follow him around all morning which made for some telling photos and also some surprises. Here are some moments from the day.....










It was funny because he kept saying he had to make the room clean for his mother..
