Late last year, I ran a small project with a nonprofit in San Francisco. We gave out instant film cameras (color and black and white) to 5 people who were either unhoused or who lived nearby in one of the 'SROs'. We did a tiny, tiny exhibition.
I'm still working to figure out how to make this a more regular thing, and how to show their work, because they have such amazing stories to tell.
@skinnylatte one thought - could you scan the images and then make them into short books (with the proceeds going hopefully to the photographers and perhaps a small amount to the nonprofit?). Perhaps via a service like mixbooks that helps people make personal photo books? (And prints them on demand)
Also being in SF and photography adjacent perhaps chat with the org PhotoWings (https://photowings.org) which is also SF based (I know the founder but haven’t seen her in years)
