project hello : know your homeless
Project Hello is something of a group art and activism project to raise awareness of the world’s growing homeless problem. They send out large “hello, my name is _____” signs to local photographers who have homeless people fill them out. A picture of the event is sent to the website, and it’s included in the online gallery and may be included in an eventual book or traveling exhibition:
We thought it would be great if the homeless started a movement, or a sort of uprising, and every street corner was occupied by people holding up a sign, demanding that they be seen as human beings.[ph]
Although the project began in Venice, California, people from all over the world are getting involved. You can, too [ph].

It is sad to see even here in Seattle the homeless on the streets all varying some wanting others have no options. Other than that I’ve seen some public sympathy and compassion toward which is good. I left a link to my Seattle Blog. http://www.backtoseattle.com/cblog/
