THE QUIET SIDE

Do you know the New Mexico Mortgage Finance Authority's work? You probably do. They've been helping down-and-out folks find homes for over 35 years.


Phillip Elliot's seen a rough life. Drugs to jail time, he's been around the block. But with nine years clean behind him, and a recent place to call home, he's beginning the awe-inspiring climb back to stability, and with a great attitude. Just look at that smirk.


Daniel Hulsbos, our photographer, offers this about Phillip: "It is always inspiring to see those less fortunate doing what they can to get their lives back on track, and making the most of things. Also, it tends to give me a little perspective on my own 'problems.' It makes me realize how fortunate I am to be where I am."


Phillip's also an avid bible-reader.


And the man's not without humor. When MFA asked when we could come shoot, he replied his schedule's pretty open, actually; he could fit us in between the President and Donald Trump.


Client: MFA
Team: Daniel Hulsbos, Brittany Martinez, Lynn Platow, Adam Rubinstein
