A few more photos from Sunday’s Medical Response Outreach Event (MORE).
Danielle and Cory shared their stories with us. Danielle was compelling and her story would break your heart.
They both were willing to let me photograph their teeth so that we could convey to our elected officials the dire need for services in our community. For obvious reasons, I will not be posting those photographs here.
Jacqui is a home health care nurse. Neither she nor her husband are insured.
Davit has big dreams of making it one day.
Bette (pronounced Betty, she was quick to tell me!) brought her son in for a flu shot and gave me good-natured hell about taking her photo, yet when I asked if I could photograph her with her boys, she proudly sat between them. I’ve got a print all ready to send to her.

Wow, this is really important work you’re doing Carissa. I’m very moved by these photographs, and the stories they tell. I sense something big happening in these posts. Documentary photography is so incredibly powerful. Is this a direction you may consider pursuing?

Good work indeed. Loved Davit’s black and white image. Are you using 2 different lens or a zoom for this serie?

I shot this with my 50mm and processed in Nik. Everything in the series was taken with my 50mm. I didn’t want to be bothering with switching out lenses all the time.
