Without a Roof: Portraits of the Homeless is a visceral and compelling book featuring 28 photographs by Eugene Rosenthal with text by Maya Dreamwalker. Painted with an impressionistic, stream-of-consciousness word brush, this book does not purport to be a textbook on the subject, yet it captures many of the thoughts and questions that have been raised about homelessness. Interspersed with facts, musings, and dotted with poetry, this small but vital book. It reminds us that the changing fortunes of time can adversely affect anyone at any time and emphasizes that we must enlarge our limited perspective to change stereotypical ideas about homelessness, and determine what safeguards will be in place in a world where the safety nets have ever enlarging holes. We would like to present our book, Without a Roof: Portraits of the Homeless, by Eugene Rosenthal and Maya Dreamwalker. In 2007, Eugene began to photograph the people in Bryant Park while on his way home from business meetings in New York City. What he has captured with his lens is disturbing and ironic. Surprised by our response to the photographs, we mutually agreed that a book would provide an outlet to bring attention to a growing and enduring problem. This small book can only highlight the magnitude of issues and it is our personal way of putting some small act into the world that may be helpful. We chose not to fill our book with facts and statistics and, avoiding sensationalism, did not show the worst case scenario thinking that in some way, we could help to alleviate some of the pain and suffering we witnessed. Many of us are feeling the economic shockwave moving across our nation. Many have been set back to square one, despite their best efforts to build and achieve. We look forward to hearing from you.
