  Poor people don't use wood stoves as much anymore. A lot of the more rural areas look about the same. The cars are 30yr newer but still 30yr old. The captions remind me all the stories you accumulate when you hang around with poor people that are completely unbelievable and unrelatable to more well off people. A lot of this has to be earlier than the 80s. There's a lot of pictures of blacks with guns in public and semi-public places sprinkled in there. After they passed all sorts of gun control nobody was gonna stand around and let a white man, from Denmark or not, take pictures of them with their piece. There's a lot of pictures that look like they might be from late 60s anti-war protests as well. I think the photographer didn't like the cold. None of his pictures are in poor areas in northern states in the winter. Edit: I think most of these pics are late 60s to early 70s but some definitely go up to the late 80s and early 90s
