#59 The Nomadic Photo Ark

Monica Jane Frisell and Adam Scher travel the USA with their mobile darkroom, studio and office telling the stories, in recordings and 8x10 portraits of people they meet on their way.

Both were clearly fated to meet and undertake this life-changing adventure.

Living the dream?

We think so…..

Shortly before Covid 19 turned the world upside down Monica and Adam met and a synergistic relationship (always the best) began to bloom.

Adam’s strength lay in sound recording and is this, combined with Monica’s passion for traditional large format photography that has led to the (working title) Portraits of US project.

Adam has cycled, well, miles across the USA and Europe and we speak about it in the show.

Adam completed a leadership course with the Adventure Cycling Association,

Had a bad bike accident, cycled along the US coast and then met Monica…..
