Arleen Thaler

Some of the most vulnerable and neglected people in our region, have found an ally and a friend in Rochester photographer Arleen Thaler. Armed with her favorite camera, which she requested from her husband rather than a wedding ring, she documents the lives of those often overlooked and misunderstood. As we’ll learn in this story from WXXI’s Need to Know, this labor of love project isn’t about the photographer, but about getting a community to confront injustices in plain sight. Aired 1/13/17
