As a photographer specializing in photographing people and their pets, Norah Levine of norahlevinephotography.com has met many people who have a deep connection to their animals. But once she began photographing the homeless and their pets, she realized how much of a lifeline animals can truly be.When Norah moved to Austin, Texas, she connected with Animal Trustees of Austin, an organization that provides treatment and resources for animals in the community, regardless of their owner’s income. “When I found out about that program, I was really inspired to connect with some people that used the services, and the project started there,” Norah says.
Norah created the photo series, called “Lifelines,” to honor the bond between members of the homeless community and their pets, and to illustrate that the connection between human and animal is a relationship universally understood.
