I recently came across a work in progress by Baltimore, Maryland photographer Jonathan Hanson. He is “examining the daily life” in his city which he calls a “complex relationship with drugs, poverty, crime and the struggle to preserve community.”
I am looking forward to seeing more of this project.
Take at look at his work-in-progress at www.jonathanhansonphotography.com.
