Homelessness is something that we are familiar with yet unfamiliar. Understanding the life of humans and knowing the phenomenon of the people who we blindly pass by was a project that I wanted to get in depth with. Through this project, I was able to speak with a few homeless and capture moments of their lives as they try to get past a month at a time.
The homeless people I’ve met have been betrayed by friends, hurt by family, or came to LA in search of a new start. Next time you pass by a homeless, remember that it wasn’t easy for them to accept their fate of living on the street. Every one of them went through an emotional hardship that lead them to become homeless.
