As you may know, for the past twelve months I’ve been working on a freelance documentary photo project covering the subject of heroin addiction in Chicago. Over time, I’ve managed to gain direct access to many of the addicts themselves.
Greg and Stacey are two of the heroin addicts I’ve come to know over the past several months. Contrary to popular belief, rather than being morally corrupt, Greg and Stacey are both good people who suffer from a medical condition known as – heroin addiction.
