Jenny Ellerbe is a self-taught photographer living in Monroe, Louisiana. For the past several years Jenny has been developing a long-term study of rural northeastern Louisiana - the overlooked region that lies between the Mississippi and Ouachita Rivers. Through photographs -- images, Jenny tells us the story of this land and what it gives to those of us who live here season after season, generation after generation. Her goal is not just to document this area but to really crawl inside it and see what makes it unique.
