Too Hungry to Be Proud: A Photographic Journal of One Thing that Changed Their Lives

by Sarah Greene

The recession of 2008 caused the downfall of Sarah Greene’s photography business. Wondering how others were faring in the economic crisis, Sarah took off on a ten-state journey over four months. She lived out of a van while photographing and talking to the homeless and hungry. In her heart-tugging account of the economy’s effect on the most vulnerable, Sarah’s photographic journal brings a deeply human compassion to a struggle felt on some level by so many. The stories, in the words of both Sarah and the people she meets, are a poignant reminder that sometimes it takes only “one thing” to destroy the world you take for granted. Faced with hunger, loss, and homelessness, these people emerge as courageous and resilient.
