Jordan, these are amazing images. As a fellow Willamette Week contributor, I often wrestle with ethical questions about what should and shouldn't be published. In fact, what led me here was my contemplation on this very issue after being assigned to update the WW file on this property in the aftermath of the police raid the other day. There was a specific ask to show that people had returned to this property, but that also meant photographing in a way that showed identifiable faces, at least it did in the shots I turned in. Technically speaking, if someone is out in public, they don't have an expectation of privacy, but that is a pretty reductive way of describing the issue, since there is the insinuation of drug use by being photographed as part of a story about a fentanyl market. I don't know if I got this one right or not. Anyway, love your work!
