KoruReturns rated 9 days ago- What a find...his captured images evoke the spirit of John Steinbeck's Cannery Row. Like Steinbeck w/a Polaroid... Cannery Row @Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannery_Row_(novel) "Cannery Row is... a poem, a stink, a grating noise, a quality of light, a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a dream. Its inhabitants are, as the man once said, `whores, pimps, gamblers, and sons of bitches', by which he meant Everybody. Had the man looked through another peephole, he might have said, `Saints and angels and martyrs and holy men,' and he would have meant the same thing."(John Steinbeck)

- Disturbing, sad, profound really. The "hobo" culture we saw in cartoons growing up is brought to life in a modern setting. Very surreal.

- Mike Brodie aka "The Polaroid Kidd" coins himself "a somewhat accidental documentary photographer." He takes pictures of his friends, their homes and fringe lifestyles and captures a group of people rarely represented in mainstream society - the homeless.

- Fascinating pictorial of kids who ride trains (we used to call these folks "hobos").

- This photographer has an eye for the right moment. One look at those photos and you can almost tell what happened next. Photos that tell a story.

- if you look at the reviews here people get really upset that some guy is taking these pictures of his friends, that he's selling these and people are buying them for 300.00 a pop, that he's exploiting people, but the bottom line is the guy is a good photographer and he's found, like many photographers, people closest to him with which to express himself. These pictures rise above simple documentary shot, this image in particular speaks to me of love and hope and the need to express ourselves. reminds me of the bukowski poem in the prior link.
