Lava Mae
I worked with a reporter named Lynn Southard for the story. The following passage is the lead and nut graph from the article she wrote:
SAN FRANCISCO—Without a place to call home, cleaning up was a struggle for Frank Leonard, Jr., but he found Lava Mae six months ago and is now a loyal client.
Lava Mae provides mobile showers for San Francisco's homeless people using a retrofitted city bus. Following the concept of food trucks, the product travels to the clientele. The bus has been configured with two mobile bathrooms, complete with a shower stall, sink, toilet and a private place to store personal belongings.

entry description
I made these pictures on a recent trip to San Francisco. Capturing homelessness though photography is dear to my heart, I have spent many hours with these people over the last few years and plan to make pictures of people in poverty throughout my career to help illuminate the condition.I worked with a reporter named Lynn Southard for the story.
