I couldn't help but post some images that I saw over on La Pura Vida. Photographer Zoe Strauss recently took to her Flickr account to upload tons of 35mm work. I have fallen in love with all of it (and am an old fan of this image). She really captured the dynamics of a neighborhood... vibrancy vs decay, joy vs strife. Some images are hard to look at because they are so honest and grim while others simply bring a smile to my face.  It blows my mind that many of these are considered outtakes. 

More of my favorites after the jump...
