#LightBoxFF: Using Instagram to Help Homeless Veterans

                                                             Sept. 24, 2014. Temple Street, Pomona, Calif.

“One night we were in the air at about 500 ft., and we had to jump and land on this patch of grass. When I jumped, I landed on my ankle and shattered it. Half of my right leg is fiberglass,” Vietnam War veteran Rodney Farmer, 63, told Unzueta. After fixing his leg, Farmer went back to the infantry and fought for the U.S. for nine years.

Welcome to this week’s edition of TIME LightBox Follow Friday, a series where we feature the work of photographers using Instagram in new, interesting and engaging ways. Regularly, we introduce you to the person behind the feed through his or her pictures and an interview with the photographer.

This week, LightBox speaks to Pablo Unzueta (@unzueta_), a freelance photographer based in Los Angeles who has been using Instagram to draw attention to the persisting problem of veteran homelessness. TIME LightBox selected Unzueta’s work as part of #TIMEvets, an initiative launched ahead of this year’s Veterans Day to explore the profound effects of war on soldiers and their families. Visit the #TIMEvets page for more information and for details on how to contribute your own images and stories.
