Purple Star, LOTD, And Tears
What a week! So grateful! I went from publishing on Sunday, to a Purple Star on Tuesday, to Lens of the Day today.
Homeless In America features photographs by Tom Stone from his American Poverty set at Flickr. A week or so ago, I wrote Tom to ask for (and received) permission to profile some of his images on a lens.
My emotions have been going all over the place ever since. I even ended up literally bawling while reading the lens to my husband. It seems that the act of saying the words out loud left me incapable of fighting the feelings it evokes.
AlishaV wrote a comment on the lens about Tom’s greatest gift — “acknowledging their existence.” Don’t you know that’s the truth!
The accolades are great, but what are we left with? …What can we do?
