LIFT / Powerlifters
LIFT is a series of photographs celebrating four women powerlifters - women who defy physical and cultural stereotypes. They range in age from 28 to 63 and they are smart, interesting and strong. They have all won regional, national or world competitions. Lodrina is a forensic computer expert who weighs 123 pounds and can lift (an astonishing) 385 pounds. She just placed first in national competition. Jessica has a bachelor's degree in kinesthesiology. Candace is a mom, the lead singer in a band, and a national title holder. Jane, the oldest, is a grandmother who went to Wellesley College. She holds four world records.
