Finding surprises in photographs after I’ve made them is one of my favorite parts of the process.

As some of you know I started working on a new project about victims of foreclosure. Here are 2 photos from that project.

Foreclosed: Vivian, San Francisco, 2012

Foreclosed: Maria and Raul, San Francisco, 2012

I was able to start this project due to kickstarter funds. While the administrative and logistic details were more than I expected, I was fortunate to make portraits of ten foreclosure victims as well as contrasting photos, both of homeless people and of profit making concerns on the other end of the spectrum.

This photo from last year got lost in my foolproof filing system. I found it only because I remembered it existed. Going on the assumption that if you actually remember a particular image, it must be a good one, I’m posting it here. By the way, it was taken in Toronto.

These two photos will be part of an exhibition at the Minnetonka Center for the Arts, starting with an opening on October 13 and running until November 3.
