New photo book shows life on the streets of Portland

His new photo book "Outside" is his self-published debut depicting the lives of dozens of people sheltering on the streets of Portland — an experience that he is personally familiar with. This month Keith celebrated eight years of sobriety after experiencing addiction and homelessness for decades. “People living outside are just like you — they’re our neighbors,” said Keith, who goes by his artist name, Keith Z. “I wanted to allow a space for somebody who’s not necessarily had that experience to be able to get close to these people and consider them as human beings.” Video and writing by Jireh Deng/OPB Additional photos by Keith Zimmerman.
