“Everyone has stuff they care or obsess about,” states Michael Warren. He asks people to bring their most treasured objects, dead, alive, or somewhere in-between for his “Somebodies” project. The only requirement for the objects is that they are able to be carried by hand. The results run the gamut – a boy brings his favorite toys, a father brings used tissues of his late wife, and a sculptor brings a mysteriously formed rock. Each week on Warren’s “Somebodies” blog a new portrait will be posted with that person’s object of value. The chosen objects give insight into each person as the viewer learns about what makes the objects so precious.

Michael Warren was on hand to witness some of the shenanigans going on at the Summer Redneck Games in Dublin, Georgia. Warren has always been curious about his subjects and passionate about telling the stories of real people. One of his eye-catching images of a woman being baptized in mud was chosen as a winner in the Unpublished category of the Communication Arts 2009 Photography Annual.
