Image Text

Shooting Back is a wonderful book of images taken by homeless children. The images are photographic stories told by these children "in their own words". The tables are turned on traditional images of homelessness as the children themselves define the area in which they live and the content of their lives. The result is a moving collection of images of homelessness that challenge dominant modes of visualizing poverty and homelessness.
