"IN THE TRENCHES" A BOOK PROJECT BY LORIAN TAMARA ELBERT

---

I shot over 70 rolls since 1999 of black & white Images made in Los Angeles & Seattle for this book project.

Please help find the right book publisher for the over 70 rolls of black & white images I've shot at Harbor View House, a home for the mentally ill in Los Angeles with over 285 residents & 125 staff, and my images at The Summit & The Mercer Inn in Seattle, WA.

I have also continued to collect poetry & personal statements, and chapters from staff & residents, and experts in the field which will be printed with the photographs for this book. The final text will help family, friends, students, teachers and anyone interested in, suffering from or working with people with mental illness.
