Drugs in Ottawa? The quite clean streets, polite, hard working, captial city has drug users? Tony Fouhse depicts a complet flip side to the city in his series USER, Portraits of Crack Addicts. The portraits were taken on the same corner from late summer to early fall in 2007. The portraits are intense and extremely poignant.
