This could be the photo
opportunity of your lifetime...
In the middle of downtown Ft. Lauderdale there's a place where every day 300 to 400 homeless men and women live, eat and sleep together, out in the open save for a large tent over their heads. Many of these folks work full time.

The place has about 150 cots, lined so close together you can smell your neighbor's breath. The lucky ones sleep on these cots. The rest sleep on the ground.
Truthfully, if you're homeless, it's not a bad place. There are bathrooms. Showers. Security. And most every evening someone brings food by.

MARCH FIRST this facility will be closed, its population scattered.

StreetSmarts would like a serious photojournalist to shoot "A Day in the Life of Tent City." Black and white. Gritty and grainy. As honest as you know how.

This will be an important photojournalism project. It can put a face on homelessness as has never been done before.

We'll publish the best of your stuff, arrange for a gallery show and publicity for you. You, the photographer, keep the rights.

There may even be a book here.
