Our photographer this week is not new to the Red Dirt Chronicles. When the site rolled out in August of last year, she put together a collection we featured in our header section for several months. She’s also served as a photographer for a few of our essays, and put this self-portrait together as a fun entry for our “RDC Best Red Dirt Inspired Photograph.” Rachel is a senior photography major at the University of Oklahoma School of Art and has completed her studies for an Art History Minor.

The inside of the can was painted black, and there was a sheet film holder made of cardboard.
