Casey Coates Danson “Angels Unawares”
Photographer, environmental designer and activist Casey Coates Danson “Angels Unawares: Portraits of the Homeless in L.A”
If we opened our eyes, what would we see? A gross imbalance of poverty and wealth, privilege and suffering, opulence and scarcity. Los Angeles, California , is a city of contrasts when it comes to its inhabitants, the affluent living right around the corner from the homeless and starving. Danson has combined her love for her home of Los Angeles, her passion for the environment and the world around us, and her deep compassion and curiosity concerning others, to produce this enlightening portrait of the city’s homeless and the severity of the issue. Casey unapologetic-ally and masterfully captures the shocking contrast between the affluence of Los Angeles and the deprivation of Skid Row.
