Identity Kits

"The recording of the homeless scene and of homeless people is regarded as “victim” photography by contemporary photography theorists. For the documentary photographer such a criticism, if taken as gospel, prevents the bearing of witness to social conditions, and assists in the elimination of particular pieces of visual social history."

Collected photography containing the portable possessions of the homeless, both fascinating and unexpectedly touching. Named: Identity Kits and found via Boing-Boing.
