Description
This book is a unflinching, but moving picture of the lost street people who live in a glamorous city: Skid Row in Los Angeles. Alfredo Falvo originally came to Los Angeles to take photographs of rich people in Hollywood. People who had Picassos on their walls and toilets of solid marble. But when Alfredo accidentally wandered across Skid Row, it made an indelible impression on his heart and mind. He stayed on Skid Row for 4 months and got to know the streets, the people, the smells, and the stories. His photographs tell a story the reader will never forget. And Los Angeles will never look the same. This unique book shows a part of Los Angeles which should not exist in a country of such immense wealth, and yet it does. It is also a declaration of love for a forgotten people.
