raised by wolves

Portrait photography has always been a big inspiration for me. The one who impressed me most
by his approach is Jim Goldberg. In his book Raised by Wolves he follows the lives of teenage runaways on the streets of Los Angeles and San Francisco from 1985 until 1995.





The few examples I could find don't do the book justice... it is so much more than strong pictures of teenage rebellion. There are long interviews, spontanious polaroids, hand written notes and letters from the kids, photos of their posessions and their environment - you get the full picture.
