Faces of Addiction
I stumbled upon an amazing photostream today, it's called Faces of Addiction. Really powerful images. Here's the photographer's description of the album:
"The stories of addicts in the Hunts Point neighborhood, the poorest in all of New York City. I post people's stories as they tell them to me. What I am hoping to do, by allowing my subjects to share their dreams and burdens with the viewer and by photographing them with respect, is to show that everyone, regardless of their station in life, is as valid as anyone else. Its easy to ignore others. By not looking, by not talking to them, we can fall into constructing our own narrative that affirms our limited world view. "

Andrea - thanks for sharing this. It is amazing. and heartbreaking too. I love the comment that "by not looking, by not talking to them, we can fall into constructing our own narrative that affirm or limited world view." She explains better than I have my logic behind the course. Thank you.
