Jim Goldberg, Raise By Wolves.
“Raised by Wolves” documents the lives of teenage runaways who live on the streets of San Francisco and Los Angeles. Jim Goldberg spent between 1987 and 1993 on the California streets photographing and interviewing his adolescent subjects, their social workers and the police. They all lend a distinct dimension to the harrowing picture of American street life and the adversarial institutional culture surrounding it. A combination of photographs and video stills, found documents, and handwritten texts by the subjects themselves create a scrapbook of the stark and unsparing lives. At its heart, this book is a compassionate and moving study of adolescent life in America, of displaced and misunderstood youths. It reveals the myriad traps which are set by drugs, violence, and exploitation, and the ultimate longing for happiness.
