Photography Exhibit Presents New York 'Through the Eyes of the Homeless'

A project that reflects the spirit of Thanksgiving.

This week marked the second public showing of “Through the Eyes of the Homeless,” at New York City Hall’s Rotunda. Inspired by a similar recent effort in Paris, the project enlisted five professional photographers to work with 14 homeless or recently homeless individuals, teaching them how to use a camera and helping them select and title the resulting work.

ReginaldOne of the participants, Edwin, holds a Bachelor’s degree in journalism from Lehman College and recently moved into transitional housing in the Bronx.
