| The Corvallis Post Office on Saturday, May 22. Two local homeless friends rest by the building and "spange" for change. On the left, Donacio Corona Hernandez, or "Caveman" as he is known by friends, has been homeless for 36 years. On the right, Summer Jackson has lived in Corvallis for 25 years, but has been homeless for the last seven. |

| Around the corner from Donacio and Summer, John Tucker greets people with a smile and "good day," while sitting on the sidewalk outside the post office. Most people nod, smile, or ignore him. He doesn't ask for money, but holds a sign that tells passerbys what he needs them to know. John grew up near Corvallis in Lebanon, and has been homeless for two years. |

| Just three blocks from the post office, a family catches a ride in a pedicab at the Saturday Farmer's Market to head home. They are just about to beat the downpour of rain at 1:30 p.m. on May 21. The pedicab rider, Cheyne Willems, is a former LBCC student who once took this very same photojournalism class. |
