100 cameras. 100 homeless people. 5 days. 1 heart.

100 people affected by homelessness in Spartanburg, SC received a disposable camera with one task - to tell their story. Each photographer had the opportunity to share a piece of their life with the people around them. It's what they see. It's who they spend time with. It's what they eat. It's where they go. These photographers may be homeless, but they do not have to be hopeless, nameless or voiceless. This was their chance to tell the community what it's like to live on the street.

"Out of Nowhere" by Ray Kelly - Second Place Ray had arguably the best roll of film out of the 46 that were returned to us. Three of his photos made it to the finals, but he had another three that just missed the cut. Ray's photo of the mattress in the woods was probably the most shocking of all the entries as it showed the community something that most would never see in their own. Let's pray that this scene never needs to get used again.
