Portrait of Hunger

8/25/2010

 

The photograph, of Tangela's daughter Asiya, was entered in the Amateur division, Portraits section.  It is also featured in the current Witnesses to Hunger exhibit at the Vineyard Haven Public Library, which is up through the end of August.  The purpose of entering the photo was to raise awareness about hunger in America.

"Daughter on the Doorstep," photograph by Tangela Fedrick of her daughter Asiya.

Tangela offers a different sort of portrait. A potrait that too many people choose to ignore or deny.  In 2008, 17 million children lived in homes where there is not enough money for food.
