"We believe it is important to set goals, even if aspirational, for true progress to be made. "Housing the homeless" is a documentary photo story set in Detroit, an area greatly affected by the manufacturing and automotive decline.

Romantic and filled with adventure, the scenes seem to encapsulate a place in time that existed centuries ago. A time where drunken nights spent with prostitutes in dreary huts served as a reward for long and treacherous journeys at sea.
