To me, Slab City is all about the people. This year I photographed many
friends and acquaintances. This photo of a school bus-dwelling mother
and child is one of my favorites. The early morning light gives
the scene a warmth that highlights the intimacy of the moment.
Crystal & Musician, Tyler Gregory, and their little dog too, from Lawrence, Kansas.
Nicole and Fredo, parasailers from British Columbia. Nicole led
a morning yoga stretch four days a week. It helped my back a lot.
Rich & Mary, friends from my first year in Slab City.
Steve, the tower builder at his East Jesus installation.
Jake and John, a good musician and powerful performer
Musician, Neil Mallick, soon to do a European concert tour
Norman
Pepe & Sue, musician friends
