The Polaroid Kidd


Mike Brodie aka "The Polaroid Kidd"  is a wonderful photographer who has managed to capture a marginalized subculture of the American population that would normally be hidden from mainstream society. He apparently is a somewhat accidental documentary photographer. He's subjects are his friends, their homes and lifestyles. Mainstream would label them, hobo's, punks and squatters, but they are much more than that. He has photographed them criss-crossing the country, riding in boxcars and also some incredibly intimate and haunting portraits.

"Adam Taylor has just returned from New York, adding a second city to his photographic series and upcoming exhibition. Streetkids is a photographic documentation of youth living in the periphery of major cities."
