Snapshots from the Homeless

A Hunter College student took a unusual angle on studying homeless, he gave them cameras so they could take pictures of themselves. It was a chance for sel expression. They photographed themselves, their friends, their homes and tourists. Each person was given $5 when they took the disposable camera and $10 when they rerurned it. Of the 23 cameras given out, 15 were returned. The results were displayed at Hunters College, and the photographers received enlargemets of their favorite photo.
