Los Angeles Photography

Miguel and I were scouting locations in Downtown Los Angeles a few weeks ago for a project we're working on together. We ended up chatting with a few gentlemen on the streets and they had some interesting stories as to how they came to L.A.

In the process of getting to know these gentlemen we realized that each of them had a story to tell. Let me introduce Brent who ended up in Los Angeles about six years ago after being beaten and abducted. Since that time his life has been a tale of survival and he wanted us to come back and hear the complete story.

And this is Red from buffalo. His world was turned upside down after a series of events that brought him to L.A.

Their stories will continue as we gather more photos and details.

These are awesome images. I'd love to hear their stories. A few years ago some friends and I got a bunch of pizzas and walked around DC just giving out pizza to the homeless. A few years ago, my wife and I served dinner at a shelter. These guys have powerful stories to tell and you did an awesome job capturing them! ++
