Faces of rural poverty (38 pics)This series of photos is a project by Carl Kiilsgaard, an American photographer, called The White Family.
The White family lives below the poverty line in a mobile home in eastern Kentucky and Carl Kiilsgaard has been visiting them for three years to document the rural poverty in the region through the eyes of this family. Carl became an EPF finalist with his project. Some pictures are not easy to see but in all it’s a great work. Here’s what he says about it: “I would like my photographs to ask questions rather than present answers, to unlock emotions, and to be a part of the increasing dialogue in America dealing with social rights of the working and lower class.” [carlkiilsgaardphoto] You can leave comments without being registered but be fast to sign up to get your favourite username. |

Clean up your damn yard, house, kids. Just because your poor doesn't mean you have to live in filth. If you quit buying cigarettes and beer, you might be able to afford food.
