For this column, a Street Sense vendor takes a camera for a day to chronicle their life on the streets of Washington. For this issue, Mark Jones did the honors

The Whole Foods at 15th and P Streets, NW, is a prime location to sell Street Sense. This is where I first met a Street Sense vendor and where I was first introduced to the newspaper.

New York Avenue is a highly trafficked near the office, making it a good location to sell the paper.

Sleeping on the streets is cold and rough. Finding a good spot to stay dry in is tough, too.
