Brenda Ann Kenneally's documentary work about women in the once booming industrial city of Troy, NY, can be explored on her site. She followed seven different women over a five year period, experiencing their struggles and attempts to overcome the generational poverty that has overtaken a large percent of Troy's female headed families.
She says: “As a journalist and activist I have dedicated my life to exploring the how and why of class inequity in America. I am concerned with the internalized social messages that will live on for generations after our economic and social policies catch up with the reality of living on the bottom rung of America's upwardly mobile society.”

I love bacon, I eat it rarely though.
And it was quite a news for me to learn that in the U.S. there is canned bacon in case of war. It can be stored up to 10 years!
I wonder if it really tastes good…

Judging by the pics, it’s a lot of fun!!!

This post is the continuation of another similar post faces of rural poverty.
This series of pictures is mainly concentrated on a 17 years old girl named Autumn (all names have been changed) living in extreme poverty and searching for love and understanding. That’s where the series name Love Me comes from.
Brief facts: she’s still in 9th grade as she missed lots of classes and has not enough passing grades.
At the age of 13, one of her relatives tried to rape her but her family doesn’t believe her.
Her neighbour who once grabbed her breasts, which left bruises, became her boyfriend one week later.
This post made me even sadder than the previous one ((
I hope she’s going to get out of this hellhole one day…

Donna de Cesare is a famous photographer from New York. Her works appeared in big publications like The New York Times magazine, Life, DoubleTake, Aperture, Mother Jones and some exhibitions all around the world. Her reportage about the spread of US gang culture to Central America has won national and international awards. Recognized as an expert on issues of youth identity and gang violence, De Cesare has worked as a consultant to UNICEF. Well, her resume is quite big so I will stop here.
The strength of her works is that she tells the story of youth involved in gangs without stereotyping them and her photos speak by themselves.
You will see interesting photos she took for her projects inside the post.

The ‘TP paper on the home prank’ is quite a common prank but I’ve never seen one that big. “It must have taken hundreds of rolls”, said Meredith Summer who was driving along Maplefield Road (Pleasant Ridge, Michigan) when she saw this “redecorated home”.
Apparently, this house is often a victim of such pranks. Good luck to the owner to clean all the mess up.

I love these photos. It’s so damn interesting to see how lived our ancestors ;)
Edit: Many of you wrote that these pics were not from 1960's. I didn't find these same photos anywhere else other than the source where it was noted "60's." But we changed the title though.
If you have more information, let us know. Thanks.

The owners of the Sears Tower, the tallest skyscraper in the United States (Chicago), inaugurated last week four glass box viewing platforms. These balconies are suspended 1,353 feet (412 meters) in the air on the 103rd floor. They are 10ft high and 10ft wide and can hold 5 tons with their 1.5 inch thick glasses.
Really impressive and definitively something to try...

The day before yesterday morning in Manhattan, New Yorkers had a light scare as they saw the US president's official airliner accompanied by two fighter jets flying at low altitude near the Statue of Liberty and the skyscrapers. Office workers stormed out of the buildings.
In fact, all this flyover was a photo op of the presidential airplane in front of national landmarks as a advertising campaign. Apparently, the local authorities were not notified and the New York mayor said that it was “insensitive” to do that, because of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Look at the photos and a video taken by witnesses of this event inside the post.
This photo was taken on a mobile phone. Doesn’t it give an impression of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center?

Kyle Cassidy is an American photographer that travelled 15,000 miles around the United States.
He went to American families that have weapons asking them only one question “Why do you own a gun?”
Later he wrote a book about it called "Armed America: Portraits of Gun Owners in Their Homes".
I really enjoyed his photos. Hope, it will be the same for you.
