Book Overview
In an evocative blending of words and images, painter-photographer Carol Burch-Brown and poet David Rigsbee offer a depiction of trailers and their inhabitants. The understated imagery of Burch-Brown's 48 photos implies rather than proclaims the living conditions of these mobile-home dwellers, while Rigsbee's meditative, autobiographical essay parallels and illuminates the subjects and chronicles family histories with trailers.

This book is simple and small, and great. Burch-Brown having lived in VA for years knows her surroundings well and proves it with this book. I would also suggest checking out her web site and looking at some of her other amazing work. I may have a skewed view of her work because i happened to be lucky enough to have her as a professor. But her photos really speak about the area she lives in, and having lived there myself, and grown up in that area i have seen this reality myself. I think the contrast of sad and funny, creates a series of photos that tells a story without the long narrative often needed in a collection of photos
