Nice work on this project, glad to see people still want to do Photo J stories on the homeless. Glad to hear the man you featured is off the streets as well. I used to be in the commercial art industry myself, the change in technology decimated so many jobs, not to mention businesses. Certain aspects/protocols of the industry will never be coming back. I am not in the business anymore, I could no longer afford to continue to live in a large urban area hoping for the next job, that kept coming later and kept getting smaller. I'm lucky to have found another career, such as it is...
Sorry to be a big ol' bummer on your blog, lol. I just wanted to say that I totally understand how the gentleman you featured ended up in his situation...
Good luck to you in your endeavors, you are very talented :-)
Just heard your piece on the CBC and here I am!
