Homeless in Fargo

For my photo essay, I decided to chronicle the plight of the homeless here in the Fargo-Moorhead area. After visiting a couple of local shelters and interviewing a handful of people who were nice enough to speak with me, I quickly realized that its a diverse bunch. Two stats that stick with me the most: Nearly 1 in 5 homeless persons are children, and a third of all homeless are veterans.

Given the sensitive nature, the project proved to be a little harder to pull of then I had originally thought.

Since WordPress.com doesn’t have a photo gallery widget, I decided to make my own and host it on the NDSU server here:
