Photographer and occasional Wired.com contributor Dave Bullock has organized a photography club on Skid Row, a massive encampment of 7,000 to 8,000 homeless people in downtown Los Angeles.

Using cheap digital cameras obtained through a city arts grant, the Skid Row Photography Club made more than 20,000 photos over the past six months, and they’ve now put on an art show during LA’s Downtown Art Walk.

Dave wants to keep the project going, and to do that he needs more cameras. He welcomes donations of old (but still working) digital cameras with any number of megapixels. Got a camera you want to donate to the club? Email Dave at eecue@eecue.com and tell him the Gadget Lab sent ya.
