Lydia's Place +

During the spring semesters of 2008 and 2009, my class worked with Lydia's Place. Lydia's Place is a social service agency in Pittsburgh that helps women and their children with the lives during or after the mother's incarceration. Our class explored how photography could be used to help the women with their lives, how photography could tell their stories, and how photography could create a bond between two different groups of people — women offenders and Carnegie Mellon students.
