Spirit of Tibet		Lost in America		People of the Earth		Portraits of Women		Portraits of Men

Jay Johansen became an activist for homeless rights when he began photographing and conversing with the homeless people in the San Francisco area. Each painting is imbued with the complex emotion surrounding the lost people found in every city. Some are preachers. Some seek refuge. Some have decided to live life free from the constraints of contemporary society. Each painting is both a visually stunning piece of art, and a statement about every person who has ever felt lost in his or her homeland.
