JORDAN BOWER - WALKING TO MEXICO

We are excited to support one of our photographers, Jordan Bower, who has decided to walk from Vancouver, British Columbia to Mexico. Jordan is one of those rare people who can connect with everyone. His photography is extraordinary because of this ability. People are immediately trusting of him and let their true selves come out in his portraits.
We would recommend that you go to his site and view the project - the link is provided here:

And if you are able please support him in his work. We can't wait to see the images he will come home with.

THE MANDRAKE ROOT by RON BAXTER SMITH

MAY 4, 2009 - MAY 28, 2009
The Mandrake Root has since biblical times held a mythical quality. Shakespeare wrote of the powers of these insane roots. Anthropomorphic in shape, they have the ability to poison those who eat them, delude those who find them and aid in fertility. They are said to scream when pulled from the earth. And should a dog find one, it will surely die before sunrise. While gardening, photographer Ron Baxter Smith, unearthed an entire colony of these little creatures. His black and white photographs are portraits of his new friends.
