Share icon Share Checkmark Link copied! Share icon Share Modal close ADVERTISEMENT This July, Cafe Art, a UK based initiative that allows the homeless to express themselves through art and photography, gave 100 Fujifilm disposable cameras to the homeless in London. Basic training was provided by the Royal Photographic Society, and then the camera recipients were asked to take photos with the theme “My London.” Eighty of the one-hundred cameras were returned and around 2,500 photos were developed. 20 photos were chosen by judges from Fujifilm, Amateur Photographer, the London Photo Festival, Christie’s, and Homeless Link. Presently, there is a Kickstarter campaign to turn some of these photos into a 2016 calendar.“All the money raised goes back into the project,” Cafe Art says, “either to pay for the printing of the photographs and calendar, rewarding the winning photographers, buying art materials for art groups affected by homelessness or helping individuals attend art courses.”More info: cafeart.org.uk | facebook | twitter | kickstarter (h/t: demilked, petapixel) Photo by ROL, Which Was Voted To Be The CoverShare icon“We are inspired by the artists and photographers who participate in the project. If it wasn’t for them, we couldn’t create the exhibition and calendar,” CAFÉ ART’s Paul Ryan told Bored Panda“Telephone Row, Lincoln’s Inn” by XOShare iconADVERTISEMENT“It takes a few months to organise the contest. We have now done it a few times so we can get more done in less time”“Left Boot, East London” by Ellen RostantShare iconADVERTISEMENT“Both partners in this project, Michael and I both do this because we enjoy making a difference in people’s lives. The photos are beautiful, but the changes in the people who took them is even more beautiful to witness”“Nature’s Tunnel or Light and the End, Stratford” by Ellen RostantShare icon“We are inspired by the international response to the Kickstarter campaign this week. People have sent us incredible messages of support and it really does make you realise that there are many people who not only care about helping people affected by homelessness, but they are inspired to join us”“Everything I Own or Bags of Life, Strand” by David ToveyADVERTISEMENTShare icon“Colour Festival, Olympic Park” by Goska CalikShare icon“Past & Present, City of London” by Ioanna ZagkanaShare iconADVERTISEMENT“Tyre Break, Hackney” by Desmond HenryShare icon“Tower Bridge PICNIC, Southwark” by CecieShare icon“West End Bird, Westminster” by ZinShare icon“The Artist, Whitechapel” by Michael CrosswaiteADVERTISEMENTShare icon“Shadow of Self, Hyde Park” by Goska CalikShare iconADVERTISEMENT80 Cameras Returned With Over 2500 Pictures.

Ive had a picture shown in Christies of London. My health and depression has improved, I'm now housed and I'm doing several volunteering jobs with the homeless and I'm now having a Documentary made about me. This all happened because of CafeArt. THEY SAVED MY LIFE. So to all the Critics out there all I'm gonna say is... HOW MANY LIFES HAVE YOU SAVED!

Everyday i struggle and will do for the rest of my life, but when i pick up a pen or a brush or my camera I smile, because they give me so much Joy and happiness because they take away my pain and i become invincible. x Vote comment up 1 1point Vote comment down reply JamesJohanson JamesJohanson Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 years ago DotsCreated by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017 Round attention Svg Vector Icons : http://www.onlinewebfonts.com/icon Report awesome story man, keep it up +_God bless!

Everyday i struggle and will do for the rest of my life, but when i pick up a pen or a brush or my camera I smile, because they give me so much Joy and happiness because they take away my pain and i become invincible. x Vote comment up 1 1point Vote comment down reply JamesJohanson JamesJohanson Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 9 years ago DotsCreated by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017 Round attention Svg Vector Icons : http://www.onlinewebfonts.com/icon Report awesome story man, keep it up +_God bless!

That's the trick: The Concept. Doesn't mind if someone has study a lot but hasnt the right feeling for doing poetry with images explaining what goes inside you and your collegues. That's nice. Good guys CafeArt.

I know first hand how it feels to take a photograph and LOVE it, to believe in it, and to connect with it. Its a huge booster of confidence and gives you something to live for. I am so in love with this kickstarter and I wish everyone the best of luck!
