Viviana, Sky and Dillinger live with their mother Dazzle Deal, in a $3,000 trailer, who cleans motel rooms and braids hair to make ends meet. For a few decades, Oakridge, OR on the western slope of the Cascades, hopped with blue-collar prosperity, its residents cutting fir trees and processing them at two local mills. But by 1990 the last mill had closed, and Oakridge was wrenched through a rural version of deindustrialization. -For the New York Times

A DIFFERENT KIND OF NORMAL: Twenty-one-year-old Anna Bauer carries her prized possession, a 24-second shot clock, during a stressful move from her childhood home. Anna has Asperger’s Syndrome, a form of high-functioning Autism, which includes a tendency to fixate on certain subjects or objects. For her it is scoreboards, roller coasters, and shot clocks, of which she purchased two on ebay for around $700. "Ever since I got this shot clock, especially when I am home alone, I feel less lonely and I feel like it is another friend to me and it actually gives me company," say Anna. -Made possible by a RACC grant

A DIFFERENT KIND OF NORMAL: Diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome, a high-functioning form of Autism, Melissa Walsh moved from Spokane in July with her husband Sean after they lost their home to foreclosure. During a panic attack, a worker at the food bank comforts Melissa. People with Asperger's crave routine and so homelessness is especially devastating to her. “I’m like a 15-year-old inside, developmentally and emotionally speaking. I feel like a teen with no social skills stuck in an adult body.” -Made possible by a RACC grant

POPULATION ISOLATION: New mother Brianne Coleman, 21, holds her new 4-month-old baby. Brianne was attending massage therapy school but her spring term was cancelled due to Covid. She is experiencing Postpartum depression and spends her days calling her friends from church and trying to pass the time. "I try and be productive, but there is so much time in the day it never really feels like enough," says Coleman. "It’s a very surreal experience to be alive during something like this. I sometimes even forget it’s going on because I don’t like watching the news. The shelter in place order especially has negatively impacted my mental health and made me question if I really have what it takes to be a single mom."

POPULATION ISOLATION: Lucy Bogus, a cannabis cultivator, smokes weed at her parent's home where she had been staying since shelter-in-place began. She keeps busy by taking care of her dogs, writing, and rearranging the house. Out of work and unsure about the future she wrote, "My thoughts swirl with empathy for families, for healthcare workers, and scientists, and for everyone’s fears. And I am filled with desire to help society though FEAR keeps me mostly frozen. As a heavy cannabis smoker I worry about how my lungs would handle a virus even though I'm not in any other high risk group.  Planning for my future is so uncertain, my thoughts race, Should I go back to school? Just keep working? Volunteer? Make a baby? Take care of other people, or their babies? Should I be doing more? How Do I Do more? What will our world look like in 6 months to one year?"

Spirit is a 13-year-old girl in the difficult transition from childhood to womanhood. One minute she is sensual and sexual, full of the knowledge of her power as a woman, the next a giggling girl, joking with her friends and acting silly. Her days are spent at Hermann Middle School, challenging her teachers, passing notes and sometimes ending up in the office. The romance in her life is inconsistent, and she admits she has a talent for choosing the wrong boys. In her past she has faced painful situations where she had no control and they have left their mark. Spirit can be moody, defiant, and brazen and when attacked responds with vengeance. At these times it is hard to remember that she is only 13, still discovering who she is. And small towns can be unforgiving. Some see Spirit as a delinquent and she is often accused of dressing and acting inappropriately. -For the Missouri Photo Workshop

PDX Protests: Retired Labor and Delivery Nurse, Kim Brolutti started going to the nightly BLM Portland protests centered around the justice center. His first night out he claims he was peppered sprayed directly in the face by an officer. "All these people had guns pointed at me and my family. I wasn't wearing goggles and they just sprayed me and sprayed me. We didn't know. We thought, there is no way that are going to tear gas all these people." The protests began in response to the police killing of George Floyd and grew to incorporate a rebuke of the Trump administration’s attempts to clamp down on demonstrations and restore order to Portland by calling in Federal law enforcement. -For the Washington Post
