00:04:13,078 He didn't even know how they were, 66 00:04:13,102 --> 00:04:15,363 only that they were in serious condition. 67 00:04:15,387 --> 00:04:18,315 It had happened near Rafaela, coming from Santiago Del Estero. 68 00:04:18,339 --> 00:04:19,750 There was no other news. 69 00:04:19,774 --> 00:04:22,210 Having no other information, I hopped on a plane. 70 00:04:22,234 --> 00:04:24,417 A friend was waiting for me at Ezeiza Airport. 71 00:04:24,441 --> 00:04:25,591 He took me to Rafaela. 72 00:04:26,425 --> 00:04:28,012 And I was met with this. 73 00:04:28,036 --> 00:04:32,350 I learned that my father was in coma. 74 00:04:34,261 --> 00:04:36,038 (Sobs) 75 00:04:36,454 --> 00:04:39,631 All of my mom's bones were broken. 76 00:04:39,655 --> 00:04:43,701 My dad was in a coma for 10 months until he died. 77 00:04:43,725 --> 00:04:47,650 My mom was in bed for six months, and had six surgeries. 78 00:04:50,316 --> 00:04:54,363 This was the last time I held my father's hand. 79 00:04:54,387 --> 00:04:57,008 At first, he would listen to me and respond, 80 00:04:57,032 --> 00:04:59,664 but then later, he stopped responding. 81 00:05:03,891 --> 00:05:09,078 So I went back to Austin to work -- I had to keep working. 82 00:05:09,951 --> 00:05:15,292 There was a day, five months before my father died ... 83 00:05:17,213 --> 00:05:19,578 My wife and I had an argument in the morning, 84 00:05:19,602 --> 00:05:21,816 and I left for work, slamming the door. 85 00:05:22,858 --> 00:05:26,112 The next day I was served with divorce papers. 86 00:05:26,136 --> 00:05:27,355 I was left on the street. 87 00:05:27,379 --> 00:05:29,828 I lost my daughter, I lost my house, 88 00:05:29,852 --> 00:05:32,322 and with my parents' situation back in Argentina, 89 00:05:32,346 --> 00:05:33,614 I was completely alone. 90 00:05:33,638 --> 00:05:36,906 I went to stay with a friend, and sleep on his couch. 91 00:05:37,597 --> 00:05:41,551 At that time I was using Instagram, like everyone else, 92 00:05:41,575 --> 00:05:45,057 taking pictures of the sky, a bird, whatever crossed my path. 93 00:05:45,443 --> 00:05:48,691 Until one day I met this man. 94 00:05:49,603 --> 00:05:52,929 I asked if I could take his picture, and paid him a dollar for it. 95 00:05:52,953 --> 00:05:55,999 We started chatting and he told me his story. 96 00:05:56,798 --> 00:06:02,224 And suddenly all my problems became very small compared to his story. 97 00:06:02,248 --> 00:06:05,455 It helped me to appreciate all the things I had, 98 00:06:05,479 --> 00:06:07,215 which were quite a few: 99 00:06:07,239 --> 00:06:09,832 I was healthy, my daughter was healthy, 100 00:06:09,856 --> 00:06:12,775 and I had a couch to sleep on, which is a lot. 101 00:06:14,007 --> 00:06:15,539 Since that day, 102 00:06:15,563 --> 00:06:19,492 I focused on taking portraits of people who lived in the streets. 103 00:06:20,076 --> 00:06:26,169 I found in them the family I lacked, the support I needed. 104 00:06:27,708 --> 00:06:30,424 Their stories made me appreciate everything I had. 105 00:06:31,850 --> 00:06:33,929 I started gaining followers. 106 00:06:34,580 --> 00:06:39,051 I always uploaded a person's picture along with their name, 107 00:06:39,075 --> 00:06:41,908 plus a bit of their story if I found it interesting. 108 00:06:44,372 --> 00:06:47,735 I found in them the family I was missing. 109 00:06:48,410 --> 00:06:50,442 One day I met this guy. 110 00:06:51,228 --> 00:06:54,759 We talked, I took his picture, paid him a dollar. 111 00:06:54,783 --> 00:06:57,054 And before I left, he told me, 112 00:06:57,078 --> 00:06:59,902 "Do you know the only thing I'd like to do before I die?" 113 00:06:59,926 --> 00:07:02,233 I said, "No." And he said, "Oktoberfest!" 114 00:07:02,257 --> 00:07:03,406 (Laughs) 115 00:07:03,430 --> 00:07:04,598 "Oktoberfest?" 116 00:07:04,622 --> 00:07:07,465 He told me he was of German descent, 117 00:07:07,489 --> 00:07:09,831 and he had always dreamed of visiting Germany. 118 00:07:09,855 --> 00:07:11,582 We laughed and I went to work. 119 00:07:12,213 --> 00:07:14,102 And on my way to work -- 120 00:07:14,126 --> 00:07:17,733 at that point, I had like 5,000 followers on Instagram -- 121 00:07:17,757 --> 00:07:19,389 on my way to work, 122 00:07:19,413 --> 00:07:24,760 I had the idea that if every follower I had donated one dollar, 123 00:07:24,784 --> 00:07:26,779 which is what I paid for each portrait, 124 00:07:26,803 --> 00:07:28,927 I could take this guy to Germany, 125 00:07:28,951 --> 00:07:31,339 and write a book about the experience. 126 00:07:31,363 --> 00:07:33,634 I started dreaming about it. 127 00:07:34,523 --> 00:07:38,127 Without much thinking, I uploaded his picture with the headline: 128 00:07:38,151 --> 00:07:40,486 "Who wants to take this guy to Oktoberfest?" 129 00:07:40,510 --> 00:07:46,384 I opened a Paypal account, I created a site called One Dollar Dreams. 130 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,241 Suddenly, a lady from Japan sent me 100 dollars, 131 00:07:50,265 --> 00:07:52,652 a guy from South Africa sent five, 132 00:07:52,676 --> 00:07:55,368 a guy from the United States sent two ... 133 00:07:55,899 --> 00:08:00,040 I realized I had a good idea, a big idea. 134 00:08:01,813 --> 00:08:03,995 My father died around that time, 135 00:08:04,019 --> 00:08:07,030 and I have a friend who lives in Colombia who said, 136 00:08:07,054 --> 00:08:09,577 "Why don't you come and stay with me? 137 00:08:10,030 --> 00:08:12,188 Forget about your problems for a while." 138 00:08:12,602 --> 00:08:15,192 I bought a ticket using miles, and went to Colombia. 139 00:08:15,516 --> 00:08:17,743 In Colombia, I took pictures. 140 00:08:17,767 --> 00:08:21,443 While my friend was at work, I went out and took pictures, 141 00:08:21,467 --> 00:08:23,759 I listened to stories and wrote down names. 142 00:08:25,386 --> 00:08:30,561 I found a completely different reality from the one in the United States, 143 00:08:30,585 --> 00:08:32,628 like in any other Latin American country. 144 00:08:32,652 --> 00:08:36,092 The reality of the people who live on the streets here is very different. 145 00:08:37,472 --> 00:08:38,764 I met this guy, 146 00:08:38,788 --> 00:08:41,563 who asked me for money to buy shoes. 147 00:08:41,587 --> 00:08:44,811 And since I knew he was going to spend the money on something else, 148 00:08:44,835 --> 00:08:46,576 I went with him to buy them. 149 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,296 Here he is trying on the shoes. 150 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,806 Here he is, happy with his new shoes. 151 00:08:54,041 --> 00:08:57,050 I kept taking pictures until I met -- 152 00:08:57,074 --> 00:08:59,207 this is how people sleep in Colombia. 153 00:09:00,333 --> 00:09:03,728 And it's part of the landscape, we don't even notice them. 154 00:09:03,752 --> 00:09:07,102 See how people keep on walking, as if he didn’t exist. 155 00:09:07,126 --> 00:09:08,968 He might as well be another trash can. 156 00:09:10,392 --> 00:09:12,330 Look how close that bus passes by. 157 00:09:15,883 --> 00:09:19,097 I met this guy, whose name is Alex. 158 00:09:19,827 --> 00:09:23,755 Alex was from a small, inland town and moved to Medellin 159 00:09:23,779 --> 00:09:25,723 to play the guitar on buses. 160 00:09:25,747 --> 00:09:27,337 He was addicted to crack cocaine. 161 00:09:28,358 --> 00:09:31,254 One day he went to buy drugs, and when he finished, 162 00:09:31,278 --> 00:09:33,585 they cut him with a knife and stole the drugs, 163 00:09:33,609 --> 00:09:35,234 his guitar, his shoes, everything. 164 00:09:35,258 --> 00:09:37,480 He'd been living on the streets for three days, 165 00:09:37,504 --> 00:09:39,424 his feet were swollen, he couldn't walk. 166 00:09:39,448 --> 00:09:41,853 In his hand he had a card from a rehab center. 167 00:09:42,953 --> 00:09:45,705 He told me he couldn't handle it anymore. 168 00:09:45,729 --> 00:09:49,060 He had asked the police to give him a ride to the center, 169 00:09:49,084 --> 00:09:50,234 but they ignored him. 170 00:09:51,225 --> 00:09:54,812 Then I asked him if he really wanted to quit. 171 00:09:54,836 --> 00:09:57,264 He said it was what he wanted more than anything -- 172 00:09:57,288 --> 00:09:58,556 he couldn't take any more. 173 00:09:58,580 --> 00:10:00,707 So we got into a cab and I took him to rehab, 174 00:10:00,731 --> 00:10:02,068 I became his guardian. 175 00:10:02,092 --> 00:10:05,738 Alex was in rehab for ten months until he left and got a job. 176 00:10:07,745 --> 00:10:11,806 I went back to Austin, and the agency sent me to Mexico for a commercial shoot. 177 00:10:11,830 --> 00:10:16,455 After the shoot, I stayed over the weekend with a friend, 178 00:10:16,479 --> 00:10:18,009 and took
