Slab City

Have you ever seen the movie Into the Wild or read the book?

Well, in the story, the traveler camps out at a strange outlandish trailer park for a while in a place called Slab City. This 'town' is an area essentially declared 'no-man's land' where individuals who want to escape society can go and set up camp and just live as they wish. It's an interesting place to visit as they have a lot of cultural institutions started in this supposed escape from society. Those include various stages for musical performances, a public library, and any number of art exhibits (aka people draw/paint/build art wherever they feel like it).

A good friend of mine had done a photography project on the area and wanted to go out and do a final round of photographs. So along I tagged! Here are some pictures to show you what it was like.
