I’m sorry but I don’t. I approach people on the street and tell them who I am and ask if I can take their photo. She said she was trying to get into a hospital and said she was meeting a friend to take her there. I told her how to get to Cedars Sinai on public transportation. Sadly all we can do is pray for some people.
I noticed the scars, too and it is sad. You are right, Russell all we can do is pray. It really is amazing the photos you capture, but some of the stories must be difficult hearing.
This photo is very Sad. I really feel for this woman. Hope she is doing better, but I also think you captured her natural beauty and i hope one day she too, will see it!
A picture is worth a thousand words. This is a story in a frame. Every person has a reaction to this woman’s struggle. I see sadness, pain, beauty and even a glimmer of hope. There’s a lot of compassion in your photography. I love it.
even in madness, christy could always find the appropriate bolero jacket.

It is difficult but I think it goes with the territory. I do my best not to be callous and to comfort people who are receptive to it.

In a sense, I think that can be said of everybody. Most people feel inadequacies that others would never even guess they carry.

At least she has a couple extra purses.

I’ve come back to this photo a couple of times - she is haunting in so many ways.

Nothing could make me happier than that statement, Jo. It means that my work has made an impact on you. Thank you so much!
