Now that I am on Section 8 and have housing it is hard to justify continuing to photograph the houseless. I am no longer one of them. I am one that is merely at high risk to BECOME one of them. I struggle with the ethics or morality of it all, as it is generally an unspoken rule that street photographers ignore the unhoused. Part of me asks why hide it, why ignore this, but other parts of me ask where and when does it become exploitation?
While you may not see new posts and will almost certainly see no new photographs, the desire on my part to help is still there. I am still here, trying to find a new way to help repair the world and end poverty and homelessness for those who want it to end.

Alas Poor Yorick - I have already photographed this subject, but he is one of my recent favorites. We met when he approached me and asked me to take his image, which happens more often to me than I would have ever guessed.

Reaching Out - My favorite interactions are those where the subject jokes around or just has an odd story or manner. Sometimes you meet someone and it is like you have known them for years.
