Description

The Road I Call Home documents the stories of 32 homeless people – men, women, children, and the elderly – to build empathy and compassion for our unhoused neighbors.

The Road I Call Home features photographic portraits and stories of the homeless from the lens of multi-award winning photographer and humanitarian Randy Bacon. Through simple, direct, and casual studio portraits, the beauty, dignity, and identity of each person is revealed. Accompanying each portrait is a heartfelt narrative from each person, sharing their diverse personal stories and lived experiences. Some stories are emotional; some are uplifting; and some are heartbreaking. All inspire empathy for our neighbors, housed or not.

These lives and stories are powerfully presented, giving voice to the voiceless. The project is firmly rooted in the compassion and belief that we can approach homelessness by choosing to see each person in front of us – rather than the issues that can overwhelm us.

Randy Bacon is a contemporary photographer with extensive history in portrait and documentary photography, as well as humanitarian work. Randy is the founder and creative behind the nonprofit people-empowering movement 7 Billion Ones, and has received numerous photography awards. In addition, Randy is an accomplished award-winning filmmaker.
