Skid Row Diaries

For the past year, I've been shooting portraits and interviewing people living on the streets of Downtown LA's Skid Row in collaboration with the Los Angeles Mission.

We talk about homelessness all the time, but we rarely listen to those living it. And that's a loss because they have wisdom to share. Surviving the streets takes strength and courage that few will ever know.

I’ve accumulated 200 hours of raw conversations. 100 beautiful portraits.

These voices deserve more than our sympathy—they deserve our attention. To bring these stories to light, I need your help finding mission-aligned partners.

Together let's remind the world how to care again.
