The Photographs of Rain Lane
Rain Lane takes memorable photographic portraits of homeless people living in dire poverty in the midst of the affluence of Santa Monica, Los Angeles and Orange County.
Surviving on the streets is tough, but a homeless woman is still able to offer a peace sign and good will to people passing by.
Being homeless is an exhausting ordeal, and safe places to sleep are hard to come by.
"No Booze, No Drugs." Homeless people often have to convince the public that they are members of the "worthy poor" if they expect to receive any help at all.
Gina Lane, Rain Lane's grandmother, painted this poignant study of homelessness.
