With a resume that includes actor, journalist, major label recording artist and director, Sam Slovick’s tumultuous past, personal evolution and street-level access enable him to enter forbidden territory and write from the heart. A former resident of Skid Row, his recent LA Weekly series of stories on downtown have been instrumental in the ongoing transformation of Central City. In this issue, he considers his old neighborhood from a spiritual perspective.
Photographer Orly Olivier has been shooting portraits of people living on Skid Row for the last year and a half. While she finds capturing their often desperate situations professionally challenging, she pursues her work in hopes of shedding light on an issue most choose to ignore.
