Picture 20 of Gallery 5 did because it was a guy sleeping on the ground on a sidewalk with blankets and random padding. What makes them so good was it was still a good picture and it had some kind of story to them. I would say policemen because their work seems hard and photographing an issue can help solve it because it shows what is really going on.
S.Quintanilla. Per 1
I'd have to say the one that is on the main page because knowing that a dog and his owner are that close its cute!!!! Also knowing that they don't have a place to sleep and to keep warm! They are good because they are capturing a moment and when you capture that one moment it shows that it means something to them! I could see me doing like animals i don't know why but i love animals!
H.Cooper Per.1
One picture that stuck with me is a homless man sitting with his dog. I think that the emotion makes the picture go further. If i had to photogragh anybody it would be a model.
G.Taylor P.1
A picture that really stuck in my head was one of a woman and she looked really skinny and she had something wrong with both of her eyes but she didn't seem sad. These portraits show what some people have to do to survive and it shows how hard it can be sometimes. I could see myself photographing kids and pregnant woman cause I love children. Photographing these issues shows people how life really is, and these pictures touch some people enough to make them want to help or do something.
c.brewer period1
The photo that stuck out to me was the picture of the lady with the sign about her dog. These portraits are good because they are very realistic. It can raise awareness for the problem.
A. Haunschild Per. 1
These photos are something you see all the time in downtown portland. One of the pictures had a homeless man crying, this really got my attention because i felt sympathy for the guy. By taking pictures of the homeless people, it shows the problem and makes people have sympathy for the people.
E. Zitzelberger P.5
One photo that stuck in my head was one of this elderly woman because it's sort of disturbing that her family let her stay on the streets. These pictures had the right lighting and the poses were really good. If i were to do a 'sub-culture' would be policemen.
M. Silva P. 1
The photo that stuck in my head the most was in the first album titled, 'Randall T.' I thought the dog looked happy with his owner even though they were both probably starving, and it says that even in the worst circumstances, anyone can find a silver lining. I think it might show the the upper classes how bad it can get.
T. Losness, Period 1
The homeless man with the dog because i have such a soft spot for homeless people.I feel like the emotion is sad.. I think i would like to photograph animals.
E. Berry.p.1
One of the pictures that stuck in my head was of the guy who was sitting there, flipping off the camera, with his sign under his arm. Because it shows them at real times, and their everyday life. I could see myself taking pictures of cops, because they are just so sneaking it would be fun to try and find them. It can solve an issue by showing there are really people out there who are in need of something.
T.Horne P1
The first image I saw stuck with me the most. The one that meant the most to me is the one with the man holding his dog. I could definitely see myself going on a ride along with a policeman and taking pictures throughout the day.
D. Riley P.1
The image that caught my attention the most would be the first picture of the guy with his dog because it clearly shows your pet is your best friend and will stick with you no matter the situation. These images are strong because they set the mood and give a picture with the actual environment these people are in. I could see myself photographing athletes in action because there isn't a specific pose or scene that has to be set up. Photographing an issue like this shows people whats going on in the world.
J.Rosales P.1
the picture that stuck in my head the most is the guy laying on the stairs on top of his bag. they show the less beautiful side of the world. i Think photos like this move people to act up against it.
t.hess
i feel terrible for this people but begging for money isnt the answer. i think they should try to find a way to raise money. the portrat with him and the dog is the one that stood out most to me because its just so sad.
S.Eschweiler P.1
I think the last picture that stuck in my head the most was the one on gallery 2, unknown 12, because he's sleeping o straight concrete and looks passed out. I think what makes these portraits good is that it shows the real homeless people and what they are actually doing. Taking pictures of this can help solve the problem by showing how bad of conditions they're in and people might help them.
S. Matheson Period. 1
There was one picture where there was a sign that said a pit bull lives here and then the pit bull was sitting right on top. They capture there whole picture they're not staged. Show people what homeless people go though or live like
G.Joers
Period 1
the one image that stuck in my head was the one with the old man and the puppy, the old man was in a red plaid shirt. and the puppy looks like it is a golden retriever. it stuck in my head because oh the puppy it just looks so sad. Sub culture that i could see myself doing is probably rodeo photography. Photographing a problem like this can help solve an issue because more people will see it because it is on the internet and now a days a lot of the work is on a computer.
S.McQuown period1
These photos make you think of all the sadness and the feeling of emptiness, they have nothing really. It changes peoples perspective because it's capturing a moment where it's still and silent and a lone. So by taking a photo of someone it can put out the word and mental image because just hearing about it doesn't tell as much as a picture say's a million more words. The one that I thought of the most was when the guy was sitting alone and his eyes were empty and with sadness and it really captures well and tells people whats going on.
V. Smith P.1
The one thing that stuck in my head was that the pictures are very emotional. The portraits are good because of the way the photographer takes it in the emotional way. I could see myself photographing animals and it can help a issue because of the emotion that it can show.
Picture 7 in gallery 2 really stuck out in my mind. You see that even though people might be in a rough spot they still have people or animals they can care for. Considering that these people aren't dressed up or posing for the photo you can still get a story of who they are and what their life is like. Some other 'sub cultural' groups I could see myself photographing would be younger kids. They always have such energy and excitement in how they interact and play, unlike any other age. Photographing an issue like homelessness can help solve the problem because if more people have an insight or photo of an issue they're unaware of it can help catch their attention and get more people involved.
M.Christensen p.1
it was the image of Douglas B. , because he just looks like he has something life changing to tell us.These portraits are good , because somebody took time , and took a picture of these people in their element. i could see myself photographing animals. buy photographing an image it can burn a feeling into someones brain.
A.Johnson P.1
The image that stuck with me most was in gallery 2 picture 7. That image stuck with me the most because there was 2 dogs in the picture. I think that you shouldn't have any dogs if your homeless because you can support your self let alone a dog. I would say detective work. That can solve the problem because it's evidence and the evidence in the picture never changes.
B. Watson Period:1
Tho photo that caught my attention the most was of the woman sleeping on the sidewalk on some type of bed with a box full of her belongings next to her. These portraits are strong because they are of people who wouldn't normally be photographed and it shows what some people go through in real life. I would enjoy photographing the elderly. These type of photos can bring peoples attention to problems in the world so people will help the homeless by donating to charities, ect.
A.Champ p.1.
All of them kind of stuck with me. But one I thought was especially profound was the one of Tom W. in the first set of twenty. I only looked through that group, but from what I saw, he was the only one with happy eyes and a balmy demeanor. That's extremely uplifting, and I'm proud of him for not allowing the negative to bring him down.
The thing that makes these pictures good are the feelings you get from viewing them. They register emotionally. They're striking.
The elderly are always really interesting to photograph because their facial compositions are so unique, and always capture the light really well.
It brings attention to whatever the subject of the problem is!
A. Gonzalez P.1
The one that kind of stuck in my head was the one where the lady had like one eye that is all white. Kind of a creepy image. I wonder if these homeless people actually want someone taking their pictures
K. Nagel P.2
The image that gets stuck in my head it the one on the front of this blog. Homeless people with dogs is sad. Dogs should not have to live like homeless people do or chose to. I could see myself taking pictures like this. I think people take pictures to show the world how people live.
T.Beard Per.2
The old man with the joke sign that read "abducted by aliens" was pretty rememberable. Even though he is homeless, he still has a sense of humor. He seems to be enjoying what he has.
M. McClure P. 2
The image that really stuck in my head is the one with the woman trying to feed her dog. There isn't much planning in taking the photos because he wants it to be real so he doesn't frame it or anything, what you see is what was really there. I could photograph a games convention or something. People could become aware from the pictures and more likely to start helping.
Ian M-W
Period 2
The images that stick in my head are the ones that are crying. What makes the picture good is that its reality. im confused by the 3rd question. People might feel bad for the homeless people so they might help them support themselves.
M. Melhus P.2
That photo is sad, it really gets to you. When i see someone on the street i feel bad for them. At the same time i think they should have a job, what did they do that was so bad they are on the street.
T.Fischer Period:2
Gallery 1 picture 13 stuck in my head the most because there was an animal with him. To me when you have a et while you're homeless is super sad because not only do you need food for yourself but for your animal also. These portraits a good because its real life and you can see how bad these people are treated. I could see myself taking pictures of firefighters because they are constantly saving lives.
K.Morello P.2
Any picture with a homeless person and their pet sticks in my head. Because I know that a pet can be a persons best friend no matter what. And I think there sad because the homeless people have to find food for them and their pets.
T.Fryett P.2
One image that stuck in my head was one of a man and his small dog. They're real and they tell a story and show an image of a problem. Youth and probably policemen. It could by putting the problem right in front of them because most people try not to pay attention to the problem.
A.Thomson
P.2
One image that stuck in my head was the lady who looked like she was missing an eye. These portraits are interesting to me because it almost shows all the struggle that homeless people have to go through on a daily basis. I think photographing this issue can help the problem by giving them a visual and wanting to help with the homeless community.
A.Boland P.2
One image that stuck in my head while viewing the photo was a photo of this guy laying on the ground and someone was walking by. You could see the guy behind and in between the person's feet. These portraits are still really good because they are real life things. They aren't made up, they"re life. Real people. I would photograph little kids. Little kids are so cute and I love seeing them in pictures. Photographing little kids could make people happy I guess. It could bring joy to the room.
G.Williams P.2
The image that stuck in head head was the portrait with the homeless guy and his dog. Pictures like those are always so sad to me! I really think the emotion behind it all makes the portrait good. Pictures like these could possibly motivate people to help make a change.
C. Rankin
P.2
The image that is specifically stuck in my head is the pit bull that had a sign. The sign says Beweare!!! An attach pit bull lives here. She will bite your asss. It is really sad to see people being harsh to dogs.
A.Willis P.2
The picture that stuck in my head the most was the picture on the main page. The one with the man and his dog. These portraits are good because they show the homeless people on their own how they are usually. They aren't posed, they're how they would be if the photographer wasn't there. If I were to do something like this, I'd want to photograph random people I see walking around on the streets of Portland or Seattle.
K.Seibold P.2
the images stuck in my head are the one that give off a sense of feeling.. like i can sense that they are cold or tired or hurt. These are good portraits because there real. elderly would be cool to photograph. It shows people the underlining issue and candid pictures are perfect for that.
A. sprague p 2
The image that stuck i my head was the one on the main page with the homeless man with the dog. I always think its really sad when homeless people have animals because its probably hard to support them and their animals. I don't think i could ever take pictures like this because it would make me too sad. I think that these pictures will make people realize what is really going on in the world.
S. Lovell
p.2
The one picture where the man who was lieing on the ground and someone was walking by them. It was depressing.
A.Lindberg p. 2
The one that stuck in my head the most was the first one with the guy and the dog. It shows that these two have a bond that can't be broken even if they are homeless. these pictures are good because it tells each person's story.
A.Herberger P.2
Gallery 1 photo 13 really stuck in my head. I have a dog myself and to try to take care of him while I was homeless would be quite a chore. I really feel for the guy in this photo and I felt touched. These portraits seemed good to me because they are emotional.

B. Ennis. Period 2.
Most of them seemed to stick to the viewer. Though the ones that stuck are the ones where the that the people are angry or ignoring the the photographer. Taking pictures of the weak or disabled would be interesting. Well the humane society uses pictures of animals in need to guilt trip you into doing something.

J. Meier Per.2
The main one shown is my favorite out of them all, he clearly care about their dog thats been by their side through their difficulties in life. It captures the moment that is right in front of them they aren't people who dress for the photo, it shows that they are struggling, hungry, and just want some help :/ By photographing this it can document and spread knowledge of what is going on, the fact that it is real and we see it everyday when we're walking down the street.
~C. West Period 2
In gallery 1 picture 9 that's the picture that stuck out in my head. I think it stuck out because he like he would be funny and happy. My mom used to work down at the Saturday market down town and I would see really cool hobos around and he looks like one of thoes guys!(:

T.tinker p.2
John K stands out the most to me because he is just sitting there with a cane and you know you cant do anything about that handicapped. The picture stands alone because it is showing us how horrible they are doing, and it expresses where they are standing. This could solve homeless problems by showing us how bad off they are, and that we could simply help them by donating money or volunteering at a homeless shelter or feeding the homeless.
L.Katzberg Period 3
The image that stuck in my head is picture 4 in gallery 1. This picture stuck in my head because I have a really soft spot for homeless people with dogs. I feel bad that they can't take care of themselves, but they have a dog on top of it.
The idea of the main photo on the page is very moving and sad. It explains how the dogs owner is so passionate about taking care of his animal. I feel that these photos could help by making people feel sad for them, and in the end give them money.
D. Moody period 3

M Cordill. Per 3
the picture of the dog in the shopping cart. it is really sad to see that. and people should help these homeless people out.
S.Snyder P.3
These portraits are good because it shows the sadness in not having a home. I could see myself taking pictures of policemen. Photography could help awareness of the fact that there a actually a lot of homeless people.
B. Comiskey P.3
Gallery 1 image 19 stuck out to me. I could almost feel his pain. I couldn't even imagine being homeless, and i think its interesting that this person photographs these homeless people.
K. Kruger Per.3
In gallery one, picture three the picture stuck in my head because I thought it showed the normal homeless man I feel. Not very exciting, but the man is standing holding a sign. I think the level and framing is good, because the main focus is on the man and his sign. I could see myself photographing old couples that I see during the day. I think they are so cute! Photographing a problem, can help the problem if photoshop is not used. It shows the tragedy and sadness of people not having a home.
R.Simmons
Period 3
All Of these images Really stuck because this is soooo sad. Whenever I see a hobo it just makes me wanna cry cause I want to give them a home and give them lots of food. SOmeone can use these photos to show what is going on in the world!
K.Polkk Period.3
It will tell people that there is more people that love there pet, and can't take care of them out the. I also think that people will feel bad for the guy because of the way he is holding the dog. It is sweet, and makes me feel sad.
A.Stumbaugh P.3
The second photo in the first gallery stood out to me the most because there is a woman standing there almost ignoring the homeless person. The show homeless people as something to notice.
S. Jost Per. 3
I like the image featured on the blog. I think what makes these photos so good is the emotion it brings to the observer. It's real life, it's not staged or fake. I could see myself taking pictures of like people on the bus, or subway type setting. I think taking pictures of an issue (homelessness) can make people more aware of it.
J. Gallagher Per. 3
These portraits are good because its true. I think that the pictures that show the truth are the best. Also if the picture makes someone have feelings when the see it makes it even more better.
D Guisinger p.3
The picture that got stuck in my head the most was the African American man flipping of the camera man. What makes these pictures good is the realism. The only other sub culture i could imagine photographing like this would be "hipsters", because i fine them ridiculous.
Kaden Sanchez
Period 3
I think this guy is really well at capturing the natural lighting in his photos. Photographing the homeless sounds like it would be difficult because you have to capture the horrible aspects and know how to show the people in a way that will make people see them and want to help. If I could see myself photographing either babies or sports. I think it would be neat to photograph babies because they are so bright and bubbly. I would also like doing sports because i like the really great action shots you always see while flipping through sports magazines.
R. Drake Period 3
The image of Angella stuck in my head. She had a shopping cart with a sign that explained how she only wanted money for her dog and not for herself. I think can help get people to realize how bad off the homeless are.
B. Leonetti Per. 3
the photo that really stuck in my head was the one where the homeless man was squating down and flipping the camera off. i thought that it was kinda funny but i realized that maybe he didnt want his picture taken and felt that the guy taking the picture was invading his space. another thing that i noticed was that almost all of the homeless people had pitbulls.
Any pictures that have a homeless person sleeping on the rock hard ground kills. Especially if they have a dog with them. No matter what a homeless person makes me feel sad and motivates me to try and go far in education and get a good job.
T.Munoz Per.3
This makes me sad, I always wonder on how they got their or what their story is. When I see this i want to give all my money to them because it makes me mad that people have to live like this.
N, Vega P3
the image that stuck in my mind is with the dog. i think taking care of a dog while being homeless would be a hard thing to do.
B.Nowland p.3
The picture that stood out at me was the man Bruce, because he was crying. What I believe that what made this Portraits good was that He had put the background into consideration. I would document the activities that happened at the park. Photographing could put people into that perspective and make them feel bad.
S.young per. 3
There was one image that was talking about needing 14 dollars more. That one is stuck in my head it really makes me feel bad for them. The thing that makes the picture good is just showing how they really are. I could see myself taking pictures of a teachers life outside of school. To show that they actually do some cool things. Photography can really change your opinion on a certain subject.
Gallery one picture 13 is the one that strikes me the most, as not only is the man homeless but the dog accompanying him is as well. I think these photos are real because it brings in a reality that isn't discussed as much. I couldn't see me photographing any specific thing. Photography can help solve a problem by making an issue prominent and bringing attention to it.
J. Brady Per. 3
The image that stuck in my head was picture 12 in gallery 2. It stuck in my head because the dog and the man look so sad. Photography could help more people know the extent of homelessness and lead them to help the people.
E.Wymore Period 3
The image that stayed in my head was number 19 in gallery 2. It stuck in my head because it was really sad & i actually see people like that on just laying around because they have no where to go. Photography can solve an issue like this because maybe some people can help the homeless people find a home.
S.Orozco P.3

(i forgot my name and period in the first message.)
R.Jacobs p.3
The one photo that stuck in my head the most was probably the one on the home page. I think it's sad that an animal has to go through so much, just because of the owners choices. I thought all of the pictures were really sad though. these pictures show people what others are going through, because a lot of people have no idea what it's like to be homeless.
S. Kutsch p. 3
When people post pictures like this, some people could feel the need to change it. They could feel touched or urged to go out and help feed the homeless, give some money to the next homeless man they see, ect. The picture that stuck with me the most is the picture on the homepage of the website. All you see is a man or woman in ragged clothes with a smile. It's people like that, who may have nothing but the clothes on their back but still find a reason to smile, are the people who put us to shame.
E. Angier P.3
the first image stuck to me cause it shows a lot of hobo's have dogs. It seems like they have pets so they can not be lonely. They have someone to count on. A dog, friend. The fact that they show some realness and sadness. This makes us wanna go out and help them or say something. I would deffiantly photo skateparks and awesome backrounds.
D.Podloujnyi Per.3
The one image that is stuck in my head is the one on the blog. I think that its sad how the dog is curled up in his lap. The emotion that the pictures bring us make it good. I could see myself taking photos of skateboarding. It can solve a problem by bring emotion to a person, and using that emotion to move them.
B.Little Per.3
the photo that really stuck in my head was the one where the homeless man was squating down and flipping the camera off. i thought that it was kinda funny but i realized that maybe he didnt want his picture taken and felt that the guy taking the picture was invading his space. another thing that i noticed was that almost all of the homeless people had pitbulls.
j.benjamin P.3
I love these pictures because it shows how homeless people live. It shows other people what they have to go through everyday. Im sad for them.
