What a fun morning! I volunteered to help out with Baltimore's "Serve the City" project and got to use my photography to give back to the community. My assignment was to head over to Second Chance (http://www.secondchanceinc.org/), an amazing company that gives people "a second chance" by giving them jobs after they have been to prison. They teach these people with criminal records how to tear down buildings, giving them a skill they can use for the rest of their lives. Then, whatever has been left in the building that is salvageable (hard-wood floors, cabinets, mirrors, shelving, shutters, toilets, chandeliers, molding, etc), they take to the warehouse where they sell it for a profit! They keep the leftovers from going to landfills, and they give people a place to work. Ingenious!
We had a fabulous time! We were told to have fun and photograph what we wanted, how we wanted. Here are a few of my unedited images from the day!
