The JOLT – The Journal of Olympia, Lacey & Tumwater
Homelessness in Olympia, Washington
Journalists from the hyper-local news site the Journal of Olympia, Lacey & Tumwater — The JOLT — capture the lives of people who are homeless in articles and photos. People’s faces are prominent in many of the photos: some tattooed, some stoic. Some people look down or away from the camera. Others gazed directly at the lens as they cradled a pet cat or dog. The work depicts a level of access and intimacy that is “so impressive,” a judge said. “The images of Narcan being administered were incredibly impactful.”
