I often shoot homeless, but I sit with them and hear their stories too.
In many cases, the line between homelessness and not, is very thin and one can't help but think, there but by the grace of God, t'is not I. Most are very open to conversation and a little company, even if, but for a short while.
My youngest daughter and some of her classmates are doing a school project on homelessness, the group meeting planned for a Starbucks near their school. I intervened and took the group to a squat camp, we found a young girl (20) as she was closest to the girls in age, and sat with her and did a video interview of her for the class presentation.
Life can be a very fragile, and chance can play harder on some souls than others.
I think the experience was a very good thing for all of the girls.
