Produktbeschreibung
"I invite you to look into the eyes of the homeless... they tell a story." Homelessness is a serious problem throughout North America-even in Canada and the United States, two of the richest countries in the world. "We must stop this madness," says Leah Denbok, the teenage Canadian photographer who travelled with her dad for over two years to cities throughout North America, photographing and interviewing the homeless. Leah was inspired by the story of her mother, who at three years old was rescued from the streets of Calcutta by Saint Teresa (formerly Mother Teresa). Nowhere to Call Home is a collection of gritty, black-and-white photographs and the personal stories of individuals who live on the streets. The haunting beauty of the images will stay with you, long after you turn the last page. All the profits from the sale of this book will go to the Salvation Army Barrie Bayside Mission Centre.

Leah is an 18-year-old Canadian photographer and author. Since the age of 13, she has been mentored by Joel Sartore, a National Geographic photographer and Fellow. For the past four years, she has been traveling, with her dad, to cities throughout the world to photograph people experiencing homelessness and record their stories, such as Toronto, New York, and Brisbane. In July 2017, CBC's The National aired a mini-documentary about Leah. Since then her career has taken off. Most recently, she has been interviewed by, or appeared on, the BBC, the Corriere della Sera (the largest newspaper in Italy), 7Days (a newspaper in the Netherlands), Global News, the Toronto Star, CBC radio, CBC's The Goods, Chatelaine, Toronto Life, and The Agenda with Steve Paikin, to name just a few. She has also spoken at such events as WE Day Toronto 2017, Women of the World 2018, and Cambridge She Talks 2018. Leah was recently the recipient of the Murray Clerkson Award, presented by the Blue Mountain Foundation of the Arts. She is currently in her first year at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario, where she is taking a four-year photography course.
