In an assignment for school, we were asked to photograph people we don't know. I stumbled upon these two people on my way out of the grocery store looking for other interesting subjects. The woman in the pictures name is Sonya, and the man is 'The General'. After asking if I could take their picture, the general proceeded to serenade me with some songs that he wrote. Sonya posed for these photos out of hesitation. I don't want to give any perspective on the photos, but all I know is that I want to get to know these two better, as well as the other people living on the streets of provo. Them and their stories intrigue me and have made me want to find a unique way to help them that will do more than rolling down my window when I pass them and giving them the food I have with me, or my spare change. I want to do something better, I just don't know what yet, because it's not fair that I am privileged while they are sleeping on the streets of provo Utah where it gets below freezing at night.
