I almost forgot to post this. Here is the announcement to a show I am a part of in Portland. It is part of Project Hello. Project Hello, was about raising awareness/money for the homeless in different communities around the country. Photographers donated their time and supplies to go out and shoot photos of some of the homeless in their area. The idea behind the name tags were to give these people an identity, their identity. After all these are real people. It was a pretty amazing thing. To get to know a few of the homeless, and hear a little of their stories. It was really interesting doing the shoots. Once the people had their name written on these cards, it was almost instantly that people started looking at them differently. They had more people talking to them and actually started treating them like human beings. If you are out that way you should definitely check it out. There may be a book about the project coming out as well. I would like to give photo credit to the photographer of this image, but unfortunately I don't know who it is. Here is the info for the show.
June 1-30, Plazm, 1640 NW Johnson Street, Portland
