The Lives of American Vagabonds

These photos are fantastic. I mean, great photos in and of themselves, but also a great essay on American homelessness. All the homeless photographed here are young (well, most of them) and they obviously have money for alcohol, cigarettes, tattoos, etc. Which would lead one to believe they're just lazy. Who knows.

I will, however, echo the sentiments of the Denver Egotist and point out that most of these really look like they could be from a fashion shoot which begs a larger question about where we're at as a society. Dig the Banana and Tobasco breakfast...and...Marsupial, it's what's for dinner...it's like a Mugatu campaign (that was a Zoolander reference for all y'all that ain't up to speed).

Derelicte!
