I wrote a photographer friend today the following:
The other day I read a Wall Street Journal article focusing on a former Wall Street trader, Chris Arnade, who "decided to quit finance and focus on photo essays, starting with addicts and prostitutes he had befriended on walks in the Bronx."
I thought you might be interested. The article goes on:
"He spent several years working on the streets, in squats and in rehabs getting to know his subjects for the series, which has been viewed about 1.5 million times on Flickr.
"He began reporting for newspapers and magazines and in late 2014 started traveling to towns across the country with high rates of poverty and drug addiction He met residents on the street, in churches and mosques, community colleges and McDonald franchises. Many felt abandoned economically and angry enough about Wall Street bailouts to support Mr. Trump."
I looked a few moments ago at his
Flickr page and was moved to see the faces of people whom the Lord loves greatly.
