AmericanPoverty.com and Catholic Charities USA wrap-up...
This
week marks the final chapter of the poverty awareness
photojournalism exhibit entitled "In our own
backyard". This exhibit has crisscrossed the United
States for the past 18 months and next week the
exhibit finishes in Washington DC at the annual
Leadership Summit for Catholic Charities.
Since this is the final and highest profile stop of
the tour, all of the large format images are being
reprinted and remounted, which is close to 120
images.
It is a very moving set of images, that address all
manners of poverty and everyday life. It is really
hard not to stop and soak up the texture and realism
of each image.
This has been a challenging and gratifying project.
One of the best parts of this project has been
working with Steve Liss. He is a natural-born
educator and an amazing photojournalist who gets
right into the thick of it. Please visit his web site
