connects homeless people too much needed resources in san jose. while volunteering, she started taking pictures, she's now given away nearly 5000 free head shots to homeless clients. she calls it the blue tarp project. >> certainly there would be more clamorous pictures if they were black and white and pretty and told stories, but i don't think that does any good and i think it kind of perpetuates the myth of what a homeless person is. >> reporter: so this is more real? >> this is real. these are real people. a mac she wants the audience to see the homeless as they really are, people. like sophia ortiz. >> i'm surprised. when i see that picture i see pride. >> reporter: it's hard to imagine now. >> i like what i see when i'm looking at me when i'm walking across the mirror. >> reporter: but sophia wasn't always comfortable looking in the mirror. sophia lost her house when her mom passed away. it drove her into an abusive

degrees cooler. the way we are doing this cooldown is it's almost like a summerlike pattern because we are always starting to see the little clouds build back and along the coast. by the time we wake up tomorrow , that says 8:20 tomorrow morning and low-grade clouds have come in from the bay and they will stay right along the coast for much of tomorrow and either friday. it's kind of like a summer onshore surge where the marine layer comes in and really drops temperatures in a big way from one day to the next. only in this case we're doing it over three days. as far as morning lows are concerned we are getting back down into the mid-40s for most spots. that is where we will bottom out tomorrow but there is santa rosa at 39 and let's get everybody in here for daytime highs. the south bay will be in the mid 60s down here. there is sunnyvale 66, we will see the east bay, and in the mid 60s as well. living more hits 65, numbers in the bay, to the temperatures in the mid-50s. a little bit

cooler as you get closer to the golden gate thanks to that cool onshore surge and will be in the mid 60s further north you go. so now that we've done the cooldown, the next topic is is there any rain? the answer is no. not for the next seven days and looking at the long-range forecast probably for about the next week and a half. that's mother. dennis, what's going on in sports? >> pretty good baseball weather. the a's are playing so where are they talking about another team? reaction coming up and just a few delegates are in, but the early return looking pretty good for the warriors. tonight on the leash on the hilarious will ferrell

playing the postseason, whether it's us are they teams in our division, i think everybody kind of was fed up with it. >> the astros are set to hold an apology press conference tomorrow. top five is next. can my side be firm? and my side super soft? yes. with the sleep number 360 smart bed, on sale now, you can both adjust your comfort with your sleep number setting. can it help me fall asleep faster? yes, by gently warming your feet. but can it help keep me asleep? absolutely, it intelligently senses your movements and automatically adjusts to keep you both comfortable. so, you can really promise better sleep? not promise. prove.
