About the Book
Take, for example, the first paragraph from Page 37, about a parolee named "Pure Hate":
"Terry was an only child with a truck-driver dad, who started doing meth, became a skinhead, and got shot in the face in Santa Ana."
To photographer and author Patrick Rogers, to be able to distill the complete essence of someone into a two-dimensional image, replete with all their subtle nuances, is the epitome of success.

About the Creator
At the age of sixteen I discovered the camera in a big way. I immediately understood that photography could help me to foster relationships with people who I might not normally connect with. For many years these “connections” were mostly driven by my libido. As I slowly learned to love all kinds of peoples and cultures, my passion to capture them in a deeper way than I had ever known grew within me. I have always strived to make an empathic connection with my subject thru my photography, rather than just voyeuristically documenting them. It doesn't matter whether it’s a celebrity or a street person or a vignette of a character from history, I want to feel their pains and share in their joys. I want to be able to feel the texture of their clothes, and know what it means to live a day in their shoes. To be able to distill the complete essence of someone into a two dimensional image, replete with all their subtle nuances is to me the epitome of success.
