The Photo Project
I photographed the street people who live in downtown Vancouver, Canada for about 4 months. I would chat with them and ask permission to take a portrait. I then come back a day or a week later and give them prints of the photographs I had taken. I carried several albums of prints and let people flip through them as a way of introducing my project to them. Watching their eyes light up as they recognized people they know in their special community is amazing. They would point to a photo and turn to me and say "Hey I know him" and then grin.
All the shots I gave away are B&W (full-color prints) from a local lab. I spend hours walking the street greeting new people showing them the prints and then asking permission to photograph them. Some say declined but many said yes.
BACK COVER
They always ask if they can have a print, even after I have told them, "If you find a photo of yourself please keep it". I asked them how long they have been on the street and the answers are a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
As a photographer, I fell in love with their hands. They say so much in a gesture or with the deep lines etched into them from years of street living. For such a hard life they are still happy and express it when we talk. I still remember waving goodbye and promising to bring them a new print on my next visit.
