CALIFORNIA: YEAH, a youth homeless shelter in Berkeley, CA
Ken and Melanie Light visit the YEAH, a youth homeless shelter in Berkeley, CA, as part of Do1Thing. Ken Light: Ken is a social documentary photographer whose work has appeared in books, magazines and exhibitions. Light has spent much of his 35 year long photographic career working in a black-and-white documentary mode, with the hope that photographic evidence will make a political difference. He has worked with many NGO's who have used his images to tell the story of the communities he has documented in brochures, posters and on-line, trying to impact social conditions. His work has been focused on America. As well his work has been published in book form by Aperture, The Smithsonian Institution and University of California Press. His seven books include Coal Hollow, Delta Time, Texas Death Row, To The Promised Land, With These Hands and the text Witness In Our Time. His new work was exhibited last year in a one-person show at the International Center for Photography. He is represented by the Barry Singer Gallery. Melanie Light is an author and multi-media dabbler. She is a co-author of “Coal Hollow” and the founding executive director of Fotovision, a nonprofit that provides community and education for documentary photographers. She has written about documentary photographers in catalogs for exhibitions at the Southeast Museum of Photography in Daytona Beach, SF Camerawork and the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego, among others. Produced by Ken and Melanie Light for the Do1Thing Project http://do1thing.org
