Pick 13 subjects, and take 13 snapshots of each… <a href="http://www.rochestersubway.com/topics/tag/13x13x13/">13x13x13</a>. At some point during the project I decided it’d be much more interesting to open this assignment to anyone who wants to participate. I’m glad I did. The following series of 13 comes from local photographer <a href="http://arleenophotography.wordpress.com/" target="_new">Arleen Hodge <img alt="external link" src="http://www.rochestersubway.com/images/icon_link.gif" style="position:relative; top:2px;" border="0" width="15"></a>. These are portraits of 13 Rochesterians she’s met on the streets. Arleen says she is grateful to call these people her “friends.”</p><p>“They all have stories and they are truly a great bunch of men who are suffering another facet of the human condition,” Arleen reasons. “When I’m shooting underground for a night, these guys look out for me. There are those who are quick to judge… but these would be the guys to jump in and save your life.”</p><p>I can think of no better subject for this merry time of year – and less than a week after we were forced to face the facts; that Rochester stands as <a href="http://www.13wham.com/news/features/top-stories/stories/rochester-5th-poorest-city-us-8011.shtml" target="_new">the fifth poorest city <img alt="external link" src="http://www.rochestersubway.com/images/icon_link.gif" style="position:relative; top:2px;" border="0" width="15"></a> in the United States. It’s not just a city problem. According to that report by The Rochester Area Community Foundation, 160,000 people living within the nine-county region are living in poverty. These are our neighbors. Our friends. These could easily be portraits of you or me…</p><p><!--break--></p><p><a href="http://www.rochestersubway.com/images/photos/13-homeless-rochesterians-david-by-arleen-hodge.jpg" rel="lightbox-13rochesterians" title="David.

<p>original article: http://www.rochestersubway.com/topics/2013/12/13-rochesterians-homeless-in-rochester-ny/</p><p> </p><div><div style="font-size: 9px; float:left;">December 16th, 2013</div><a href="http://www.rochestersubway.com/images/photos/13-homeless-rochesterians.jpg" rel="lightbox-13rochesterians" title="13 Rochesterians [PHOTOS BY: Arlene Hodge]"><img alt="13 Rochesterians [PHOTOS BY: Arlene Hodge]" src="http://www.rochestersubway.com/images/photos/13-homeless-rochesterians.jpg" style="margin:0px 0px 6px 0px;" border="1" width="100%"></a></div><p>In 2013 I gave myself a photo assignment. Pick 13 subjects, and take 13 snapshots of each… <a href="http://www.rochestersubway.com/topics/tag/13x13x13/">13x13x13</a>. At some point during the project I decided it’d be much more interesting to open this assignment to anyone who wants to participate. I’m glad I did. The following series of 13 comes from local photographer <a href="http://arleenophotography.wordpress.com/" target="_new">Arleen Hodge <img alt="external link" src="http://www.rochestersubway.com/images/icon_link.gif" style="position:relative; top:2px;" border="0" width="15"></a>. These are portraits of 13 Rochesterians she’s met on the streets. Arleen says she is grateful to call these people her “friends.”</p><p>“They all have stories and they are truly a great bunch of men who are suffering another facet of the human condition,” Arleen reasons. “When I’m shooting underground for a night, these guys look out for me. There are those who are quick to judge… but these would be the guys to jump in and save your life.”</p><p>I can think of no better subject for this merry time of year – and less than a week after we were forced to face the facts; that Rochester stands as <a href="http://www.13wham.com/news/features/top-stories/stories/rochester-5th-poorest-city-us-8011.shtml" target="_new">the fifth poorest city <img alt="external link" src="http://www.rochestersubway.com/images/icon_link.gif" style="position:relative; top:2px;" border="0" width="15"></a> in the United States. It’s not just a city problem. According to that report by The Rochester Area Community Foundation, 160,000 people living within the nine-county region are living in poverty. These are our neighbors. Our friends. These could easily be portraits of you or me…</p><p><!--break--></p><p><a href="http://www.rochestersubway.com/images/photos/13-homeless-rochesterians-david-by-arleen-hodge.jpg" rel="lightbox-13rochesterians" title="David.
