These images are part of my ongoin' 'End Homelessness Now! project ongoin' through to 2012. The aim of this project is to highlight the plight of these unfortunate individuals on the streets of London, my hometown.
A portfolio of photos will be built up and hopefully I will have the opportunity to show Boris Johnson (Mayor of London) and remind him, in the event he doesn't stay true to his commitments in helping the homeless people of London with homes, healthcare, basic aid and social exclusion.

I have been in talks with Crisis a homeless charity run in Central London, and this is where they will be able to help me. Andrew Page has expressed great interest in my photos and would like to show my work in an exhibition at some future date.

Every homeless person I meet on the streets I engage with and talk to and try to understand how they came to be homeless. This way I try to bust open the myths and preconceptions that some people have about the homeless.
The money and cigarettes I give them in return comes straight out of my own pocket.

BTW, I don't smoke, and thank you for lookin'.
