I normally don't like photo galleries or slides. This is an exception to the rule, and I think it's worth sharing. Faces of Addiction takes photos and stories of addicts that really do tell a story. Photographer Chris Arnade will challenge our ideas on who addicts are and how they became addicts. From the death of a loved one to an unexpected windfall leading to a coke binge, he touches on such a wide section of people that we can see how devastating and destructive addiction really is.
Not all addicts look like addicts. Not all addicts are criminals, or would be criminals if they could just kick their habit. Some destroy themselves on purpose, others are blind to what they are doing. But photos don't lie.
It's easy to write these people off. That is a shame we all should bear.
