RE: State of America Summed Up in One Photo

in Photography Lovers2 years ago

Ya. Its weird. I love documentary style photography and everything, but taking pictures of homeless people is a little uncomfortable because its a side of humanity most people tend to shy away from wanting to see, but each of these people have so many stories that they can tell. I would love to go spend a day talking with these people and really get to know them and what they have been through and give them a voice that they normally wouldnt have because they are mostly ignored by society.

Sort:  

They are ignored even by the police department... sometimes it may be funny, but often it is not. I would say, that talking with such a person may bring very different fruits, not necessarily I assume he/she has a touchy story to tell. On another hand, they live a life full of everyday survival, and that can be a breathtaking story -- but it depends on a storyteller skills, right? thats how I see it. 🙄
