This moving and candid homeless people photo series shows the audience the only worldly possessions these people have, reminding us that we should be thankful for everything we have.
Taking us on a journey down Los Angeles’s Skid Row neighborhood, John Kilar talks to, and captures, the faces and stories of these people. This harrowing and candid homeless people photo series shows us possessions like ratty tents, overflowing shopping carts and rolling suitcases.
"The city of LA—eager to sanitize this gaping wound of poverty in order to welcome deep-pocketed developers—attempted to seize the possessions of the Skid Row homeless in the name of public health. I went down to Skid Row to document the many varied possessions of the residents, and explore how they express their right to ownership," says Kilar.
