love by Rebecca Adler

The East Side of Austin holds a special place in my heart. Over the past four years of my residence in Austin, I have lived there, done filming and photography in the Govalle area, and am currently counseling junior high kids of 11th street at the ALC. I am continually moved by the spirit, humor and resilience of the people I have met and work with. Unfortunately, this population is often overlooked, marginalized and invisible to the rest of Austin. It is with great pleasure that I present these photographs as testimony to the vitality and beauty I experience on the East Side.
