Seems like people are criticizing this partially because it's pitched as an alternative to normal tourism. Just wanted to point out that Chris Arnade has done quite compelling photo journalism based on his way of engaging with communities, so what might seem like non sequitors or edge lord stuff might be in service of an implicit goal of his that most travelers don't share. Not that he does himself any favors with some of the framing. Highly recommend his book Dignity. https://www.amazon.com/Dignity-Seeking-Respect-Back-America/dp/0525534733 https://www.amazon.com/Dignity-Seeking-Respect-Back-America/... Some of his work in the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/profile/chris-arnade https://www.theguardian.com/profile/chris-arnade

Is this the guy who covered Hunts Point in the Bronx? I remember seeing his pictures, feels like a long time ago now. I found a Flickr album here [0]. I also vaguely recall a long form article, talking about a few different people's lives, but I can't seem to find that one.
