My New Orleans Photo Project

ReFOCUS is in the second year of organizing the MyNew Orleans Photo Project, which focuses on people affected by homelessness and asks them to show the Crescent City from their unique perspectives.
In 2016, working with a network of local homeless service providers and a volunteer team of photographers, the Photo Project provided Fujifilm single-use cameras to 100 people affected by homelessness.  The resulting images from the 68 cameras that were returned revealed slices of everyday life and unique views of the city.   The MyNew Orleans Photo Project produced several gallery shows and a calendar sold over the holiday season, and kept participants engaged with a series of opportunities – from choosing the photos to submit to the calendar contest to being part of the gallery shows to helping with calendar sales at local art markets.
