Gary Koenig’s visual biography began more than 10 years ago. Today, he tallies up more than 800 faces of the homeless. Beneath the veneer of the Med City, once called a number one city, is an under-told story of those who live unsheltered at night. The challenges are difficult and multifaceted. Some may have run into hard times, lost their jobs, adopted addictions of many types, or suffer from mental illnesses. Often crime is close. This vulnerable population all have had a mother. All have names. All have faces.
Gary Koenig is a native-born Rochester resident and freelance photographer who has captured the essence of these hearty souls who call the street ‘home.’ Gary will narrate his black and white photo journal in which his images, “seize the eyes of the soul.”
Winona State University nursing students compliment the photos with real stories of working with the homeless.
