So, it's been a long time since the last post. Busy busy..and lots of news. The new website for the project is going up soon and there is about to be a big launch everywhere possible to get people involved and have their say-----Tell all your friends!!!

I went to Toledo, Ohio last week to Photograph Matthew Deshayno. Great guy and he's really trying to make things happen. He works at the Stop N' Go Liquor Store on the outskirts of Toledo, which is really depressed and struggling to find it's way. Ohio has the Nation's second Highest unemployment rate right now, so things are tough. Matt's from Arizona and is in school for nuclear medicine. He's had a tough go in Toledo; living in his car, selling blood plasma for cash and working a bunch of odd jobs to get by and pay for school. He's trying hard and his 'AMERICAN DREAM" Is heartbreakingly honest and inspiring. Here's his photo here; taken on a sunday night outside the liquor store.
