Sarah Bones saved for her first 35mm camera at age 13, in 1969. She immediately hitchhiked into Philadelphia so that she could photograph the lives and circumstances of people living on the street. As a professional photographer and documentary film maker, her passion and courage in telling the stories of people in need continued and has carried her to Africa, across Asia, Guatemala, Cuba and locally, into prisons, homeless shelters and the intensity of political campaigns. She is a member of the collective group Photographers For Hope led by David Burnett and Anna Wang, ASMP Philadelphia and the NPPA.
