American homeless

gross get a life

omfg Stacey, you get a life. If you don’t like it then don’t frekin’ look at it.

How about you do something better with your time then make idiotic comments?

amazing pictures, some.. and sad too… so much trouble in the world!!!

Beautiful pictures, excellent work. One thing, however. That isn’t a raccoon, it’s a possum. The most likely reason for them killing it is food (possibly for the dog), but a reason for a great deal of homelessness is mental illness. However, since there is a dog present and seemingly well-cared for, I doubt it is mental illness.

Good pictures but these guys look like they want to be homeless. They pay way too much attention to style.

I’m interested in finding out how or where you got theses pics from. I work w/ the homeless for a living.

Very moving photos. If you can get 20 times as much, and could collect a little bit of their stories (four or five sentences), this is publishable work! Very sad and inspiring at the same time. Freedom or doom? Reminds me of the movie, ‘into the wild’.

I can’t get over how personal these pictures seem. This is really great work…

Nice pictures, really well taken. Do you know where these people are from? They look really interesting

These are fantastic pictures but like McGruder said it seems like some of them want to be homeless, like modern day gypsies. Beautiful either way.

I really liked this. You did a very good job of capturing both the old (which people are used to seeing homeless) and the youth of homeless people in America. You should be proud of this collection! I’ll be proud to share it
thanks again excellent work!

oh my

I’ve been staring at the girl in the picture named “beautiful homeless woman” for hours now. She is so unbelievably lovely, I just can’t express it. I’d give up everything for a chance of at least chatting with her…

On the other note, what percentage of american homeless actually do choose such lifestyle?

I am doing a pastel drawing of the girl with the parrot. i would really love to know where the pictures were taken!

This has Pacific NW all over it.

Whereas I don’t know the exact location of the shots, I have been informed from one person that he recognized one girl who was interviewed in a tv show about homeless people in Seattle.

You’ll find folks like this everywhere North of Eugene, OR and south of Everett, WA. If you’re a photographer/artist/writer/whatever, try: Eugene, OR, Portland, OR, Olympia, WA, and Seattle, WA.

Some of the train hopping folks have links with Crimethinc and other proponents of ‘alternative living’. See http://www.crimethinc.com/books/evasion.html and similar publications.

This really makes me want to be homeless for several years.
