I am a US Army Infantry veteran who served from 1971-72. I understand a lot of the issues veterans struggle with as I have struggled with them myself. My 10-year road to recovery started in August of 1973 with my rebirth in the spirit. Started photographing homeless men living on the streets of Cleveland in 1983 and documented the various forms of homelessness over the next eighteen years.

Started photographing the veteran’s memorial along State Route 301 about thirteen years ago both day and night.
