The Selvedge Yard hat wieder einmal mehr eine tief unter die Haut gehende Fotostrecke am Start: LA Gang Life | Dickies, Thugs & Guns von Robert Yager. Diese Bilder sprechen für sich. Und zwar eine sehr rohe, tragische und mit unter dramatische Sprache.
When I was 11 or 12 years old, I learned all about the cholo firsthand. I had been born and raised in NY, when in grade school we suddenly uprooted and headed out West for a new start. After a brief stint in Anahiem we finally settled in Arizona– and we were flat broke. For a good many months we (mom, stepdad, sis, myself, and our Doberman pup) lived in a tent out in the alien desert north of Phoenix.
