a major development in my photographic career =D

[Yahoozy]

ok, back story
my parents (and myself) have been working with a man known as The Water Man (real name David Ross) in downtown San Diego
basically this guy (who's like 70 years old) spends most of his time giving out food and water to the homeless of the downtown area, buying all the food and water with his own social security money
so, one day we were giving out food and i had brought my camera because dad wanted some pictures for his website (link at the bottom) about David, and i took about 100 photos of the situation, 9 of which i thought had merit
so David then, in turn took these photos to the city council to help demonstrate one out of the many problems concerning the homeless (this one being that the homeless shelter is closed on weekends)

anyway, long story short, a reporter saw these photos, liked em, and wants to put some of em in the paper in his article about this situation
and to top it all off i'm getting payed for it

sweet =D




and if you'd like to know more about David Ross and what he does, his website (made in iWeb by my dad) is helpthewaterman.com (a bit straightforward of a title, but effective nonetheless =P)
David's a good guy with a lot of heart, and people like him are a bit too scarce nowadays...

Congrats! That is a great thing you are doing.

When I lived in San Diego, I spent 3 years working with homeless military veterans. It was a very difficult but extremely rewarding.
