Eric Rudd Photography shoots for Habitat for Humanity

Yesterday I had the distinct pleasure to photograph a home being built by our local chapter of Habitat for Humanity. What made this project extra special was that this house was being built entirely by women. "Womenbuild" is a 10 day long marathon located on the west side of Bloomington. Through the wonderful organizational skills of Ann Schertz, a local photojournalist, we donated our time to document the day(s). The weather was gorgeous, the work hard (all I did was hold a camera, though), and the results, I think, are going to be well worth the effort. Be sure to check out Womenbuild's website if you would like to get involved.

Janna Castillo is the wonderful, gracious homeowner-to-be. I enjoyed chatting with her about her life and the enthusiasm she has for her new house. This women has been through some tough times recently, however. Not too long ago the Janna was involved in a car accident which left one of her daughter's paralyzed from the waist down. My prayers and thoughts go out to her and her family.
