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.
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. 🙄
