It was a cool November day during the holiday season, and Don “Tortellini” Thomas II’s friends had asked him to go downtown with them to hand out food and clothes to the homeless. Tortellini, a photographer, kept his camera in his car; he didn’t intend to take photographs.
“I just went to fellowship with the homeless and pass out food during the holiday time,” Tortellini says. “But while I was out there, I was able to talk to the homeless and really get context as to why they were homeless.”
Tortellini asked a homeless person if he could take a portrait. The answer was yes. The film photo came out gorgeous, and that’s how Tortellini’s Faces of Dallas project was born. The photographer is compiling a portfolio of portraits and profiles of homeless residents of Dallas.
