"As I've gotten older, I've wanted to give back and make a difference, even in small ways. I did some photography work for 'Focus on the Good' a few years ago that involved working with homeless people, and it was eye-opening. I began to see the reasons so many of them were homeless: many were mental health consumers, and others wanted to work but just didn't have the skills or abilities to get jobs. In spending time with them, I realized they were no different from me; we're all people, and we're all just one paycheck away from homelessness ourselves. I want to use photography as a way to give back to those who don't have a lot and who may not even know how to put their experiences into words. Their stories are on their faces."
