In her “Lejos del Hogar” project, Luz Elena Castro gave cameras to members of West Marin’s Latino community, and taught them how to take photos used in weekly English lessons. An exhibition of Luz Elena’s documentary work opened March 28, 2004 at Gallery Route One in Point Reyes, CA.

Luz Elena Castro Photojournalist

Since the beginning of my career, I have felt a special connection with the forgotten people of the world. They are a very important part of my work. With photos of their faces, dramas, and daily life, I have tried to call people’s attention to them. In spite of their situation, poverty, abandonment, and misery, there is a strength that comes out of their spirits. I strive to capture it.
