Skid Row Photography Club was created to provide the local community with a healthy artistic outlet designed to bring new possibilities of self-expression as well as personal development and growth. The club is comprised of local Skid Row residents who are given the gift of a camera in order to document and share the everyday experiences of people in this unique neighborhood.
