As I scan negs for the "Photography Forum" magazine submission I am reunited with images from the 2013-2014, some of which I had forgotten about. Here are a few, they might have been posted before. Will probably print some of these images at future "Families of the Dump" exhibitions. Am looking forward to shooting a ton of 35mm Tri-x next trip with the Leica's. What a wonderful creative combination they make.
Update: Linked this blog to my Facebook. Here is what I wrote there.
Been scanning some old 35mm Tri-x negs, shot in the dump on the families in 2013-14. Check them out if you have a chance. The photos posted here, one is of a baby-young child area in the dump (old mattress under a tree). While the parents were working, they placed their children on this mattress, some of the older children (still very young) watched over them. The second photo is of a young mother (14?) in a dump shack home, her mother lays in front of her, she was quite sick that day but recovered. I ended up giving them some money for a clinic visit. I think she is the same lady carrying the bag on her head in the link. Most everyone in the dump works hard. It is very difficult dirty work. One time I helped lift a huge bag of heavy bottles onto a ladies head, my hands were covered in smelly slime after that. A dump rotting garbage smell is a special kind of smell, it gets and stays in everything.
