Moderators John317 Posted April 18, 2008 Author Moderators Posted April 18, 2008 This was my first photograph in a project of photographing trailer courts throughout Southern California. I was at first skeptical of its potential but I soon found that it is a gold-mine of wonderful images. I simply walk through trailer parks with my camera and photograph anything that seems to me to best reflect my sense of the character of the place and of the people living there. I find that even after 9/11, people are friendly and welcome a good conversation on their porches and even in their trailers. Soon I plan to include photographs of the denizens in their homes and later I will also record their voices telling about their lives there.

I went along with him on a few of his trips, once to a church in Costa Mesa, near Los Angeles, and another time to a barrio (poor neighborhood) in Mexicali. There he would buy rice and beans and candy and drive through the barrio inviting over the loudspeakers for all the barrio to come out to the evangelistic meeting. Afterwards he would give out the food. He'd usually draw a fairly large crowd, so big that he had to hold the service outside the church.
