I'm not going back to fill unless it's on a large format camera like a 4x5. I collect old cameras and every now and then I put film in one to see how well the cameras working. Every time I do that I see the severe limitations that film has to offer. Often I need to change the ISO ratings but I can't do that with film. Then there is the issue of processing it. Shooting small amounts of film is expensive if you process yourself or send it out. And it's time-consuming to wait to see if your pictures turned out the way you had hoped. For example, are your subject's eyes open.
Like I said, I shoot film rarely but every time I do it just reminds me that I'm not going back.

Old Town Scottsdale

I took this from a moving car. So I went back to the original raw file and looked at it. It's an overflowing dumpster in their bicycles on the left side. Part of the dumpster is blocked by the shopping cart filled with possessions.

Scottsdale, Az. 12/29/2016

The young man was sitting like this before I arrived and hadn't moved by the time I left a minute or so later.

A young woman sits outside a convenience mart.

I agree.

This gentleman was have an interesting conversation with himself as he crossed the street by the mall.

I agree that I thought the idea was good. However, it didn't seem that it made any difference. What are the problems in Vegas isn't there just so many people for the lack of a better term begging for money. Many cities have past ordinances that restrict where homeless people can ask for money. I guess out of sight out of mind. The Vegas area has no such ordinances. That's why you see so many people on the streets. then there's the a show that a large part of our population just doesn't care. They figure it's these people's problem.

Limits of photography is that you don't get to see exactly who some of these people are. Written coffee or video interviews would help accomplish that. I'm hoping when I finish the project and a couple of years and various cities that the total impact may have an effect on those that see it. However, I'm not that optimistic. Just like in the photograph people will just look at it and Walk On By.

I wonder that also. There seems to be an entire underground culture where these folks find a way to survive. It's still tragic to know that people have to endure this type of existence.

Vegas.
I just got back from spending a week there. However, I'm saying this and just about every city I've been in. That's what's been very troubling to me. As a nation we don't do enough to help the men and women who put their lives on the line for us

Often people claim to be veterans and really aren't. Both of these gentleman attached their vets I.D. to their signs as proof.

The problem is you just don't ever know. The con artists out there make it bad for the people that are truly in need.
