What do I see? I see a work of art that humbles me. What a stunning creation and an excellent nudge to be proactive. Our area has an outstanding rescue mission and I'm reminded this is the time of year when they need coats, warm socks, sleeping bags, etc. Time to answer the call! Thank you for this masterpiece and the great reminder that we ARE our brother's keeper.
THIS IS FANTASTIC! I, myself, have seen many of DC's homeless. It's sad. I already contribute to my local food bank through donations and volunteering, but I sure hope this inspired many people!
GREAT, GREAT LO :-D
I think I already commented on this....it deserves another one! This layout is so amazing!!!! One of the best I've seen on here yet!!! So heartfelt and true to life. Fabulous shot!!!
i already commented on this, but its still amazing so i'm commenting again :) this is definitely one of, if not the, best lo's ive seen. its so meaningful, you did an amazing job!
Hi Laurie,
I just stopped by to see if this was "Out for Publication" yet. I really, really HOPE you have submitted it everywhere! This is my umpteenth visit, and 2nd post, but I would LOVE to see how it looks in glossy! I hope all is well with you, and that you're just waiting to hear back from the publisher!!! HUGS...Barb
I would almost bet that this layout is getting some of the most visitors on this site.. It is incredible.. I just had to leave comments for you again.. This layout is in the Featured List just about everytime I log in.. Just incredible.. Did you submit it to a magazine yet? I am telling you it will win hands down..
Such a powerful piece of art! Having been homeless myself at one time, this really touches my heart. You did an amazing job capturing the reality! Hats off to you!!!
Wow is this ever an amazing layout.. You should submit this to one of the popular magazines.. The journaling brought tears to my eyes. Because yes, where is this mans family, where are all the churches that want to save people. The paper is perfect for this layout.. Love the font you used on the journaling.. Great job on this layout..
As if the photo wasn't already profound and touching, you have done something even more amazing with it. You got the word out and are speaking volumes through your photography and scrapbooking. To some this may be a page that goes in an album, but to others, it will stay in the back of their mind and will leave an impression on them...an impression that could make a difference in someone's life...someone just like this man. You're one of a kind...a jewel!
Wow this is heart-wrenching, and you're right...we're such a power country but yet we turn our backs on our own and bend over backwards for those who sneak in behind our backs. Sad.....this LO is very very powerful!!!
That definitely tugs at the heart strings. What a touching LO. And, I really enjoy seeing the LO's that feature the not-so-good times, the "real" life. Because, we all know that real life isn't all ice cream and smiles. Great job!
This is amazingly beautiful but so very sad. You can feel his anguish through this picture. I don't know why our president and congress will do so much to support other countries, but leave our own citizens to suffer. I commend you for scrapping this.
This is stunning. I know that most people feel we are a well educated country, but did you know that the average juror has only an 8th grade education. Sad but true.
What a beautifully done LO BUT what a sad subject 2 do a LO on. Finally I LO I can relate 2......REAL LIFE AS IT REALLY IS. Added 2 my fav, it has inspired me 2 stick 2 the telling of a story in a LO. This LO focuses on life instead of the artsy side of scrapbooking. TFS.
I knew it was a winner, its going to go over the top! They're right, it should be shown to the President, Congress, and if they have any heart at all they'll do something about it! Very perceptive!
Photograph took first place in the people, individual b&w category of the Cecil County Fair.
Journaling:
America - Land of the free, Home of the brave. also land of the poverty stricken and the homeless.
As I sit here in my home warm and safe, this man calls to me. How can such a powerful country, educated and wealthy sit by and allow its citizens get to this place?
Where is his opportunity. Does he have a family, friends? Where is his support system, his helping hands? I see a man who has all but given up, a man just waiting for God to call him home.
