After getting to know them, Jonas was inspired by their work and how they gave back to the community and made this mini-documentary on them and their work. Below is a description of the video\/documentary from Jonas.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jonas<\/strong>: I finally got time to edit some more video from my U.S. tour this summer. I didn&#8217;t shoot quite as much as I had planned, but it was still enough to create a story about two talented photographers, Brad Evans and Travis Jensen, as I got to know them on my trip. In the process I developed a lot of respect for their photography.<\/p>\n<p>They spent a year shooting and then creating a photo journal about San Francisco&#8217;s Tenderloin district. It&#8217;s a very underserved neighborhood that many consider as rough on the edges. I spent a lot of time there, but I didn&#8217;t shoot too much because it can be dangerous to visit and play tourist with a camera. Travis used to live in the Tenderloin as a young man and both him and Brad have a good understanding and awareness of the area&#8217;s dynamics.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of showing only the bad side of the neighborhood that other photographers have emphasized in the past, Brad and Travis were determined to portray the area&#8217;s positive aspects.<\/p>\n<p>The book&#8217;s profits are donated to a social charity in the neighborhood that helps at-risk youth living on the street.<\/p>\n<p><em>Read more to see photos from Brad Evans and Travis Jensen.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Photos by
