The Humane and Beautiful Photography of Lee Jeffries

Lee Jeffries is (was?) an accountant and amateur photographer who began taking close-up images of the homeless after an encounter with a homeless girl. His work expresses not only the extraordinary humanity and depth of his subjects but radiates integrity. He's been around the web a bit (two posts on Colossal, for instance, and the source for some of the literalist graphite portraits by Franco Clun); but this hardly gives range to his works. There are extensive collections of his work at Flickr and 500px -- better sources than the few below since they're viewable larger size -- and his work is for sale at Yellow Korner.
