This is a portfolio of portraits I made while documenting the lifestyles of people who lived outside or who were on the brink of living outside in Adrian, Michigan. The work was done in 2002 and published over a seven day period in the Daily Telegram. My relationship lasted for more than a year with most of these people. Silas, Steve, and David have all died since.

Very touching and so tragic that this is happening more and more in this country. My heart just breaks for any and all with no warmth during this snow and cold right now.

these pictures make you realize the cold hard truth about life. they make you see how in a second things could be taken away from you. these were good pictures and i liked how you did them black and white. They wouldn't be the same if they were colored pictures.
