“Linda and Dean allowed me to photograph every moment of their family’s lives, even the most painful times. Jesse and Crissy are Linda’s children from a previous relationship. The effect of the stress on the children was very apparent. When a social organization found a motel for the family to stay in for two nights, Crissy immediately lay down on the floor of the shower, and Jesse sobbed uncontrollably in a corner. All they could think of was how temporary this respite was and that soon they would be living in their car again.”
I always wonder how this is possible. How did we create such a world?
