Margaret Morton : The Tunnel
Beautiful book I discovered, exploring homeless lifes in New York, specifically on one of the tunnels that has been abandoned. They are called homeless, but it's amazing what suroundings you can make out in street in order to have at least something, that reminds you of comfortable home. With little stories next to the pictures, it just makes me think that there is so many different people with completely different living styles, living conditions and you won't even notice it while you living just a normal "standard" life. Although it's a non-easy living, it brings completely different perspective into living a life. More about the book here.
I agree, it's a fantastic book it features powerful series of photographs that expose the day to day lives of those people who make the New York City subway tunnels their home. I was fascinated to learn that the residents dwell in continual darkness, constructing homes of cinder-block bunkers and freestanding hand-made structures in alcoves and on ledges.
