    Terribly hard to look at, and too important to remain ignorant about! Thank you for documenting these people!

    Scary and disturbing picture to look at. The whole series of pictures are amazingly shot and very "real"! It's very hard to look at a picture like this and think anything less than 'what can we do to help this get better'
