#thenatureofrefuge right on the edge of the freeway, these people chose to claim their home, or were given this as an only choice without harassment or felt like this was the only option available. #sanctuary #refuge #livingoutside #lacamping #streetlife #birdseyeview #witness #women #stories #travel #thankyou (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzq7EX4lLAy/?igshid=w3jliitphzw3

#thenatureofrefuge that winter of falling far and fast, i was on an island that felt safe, i needed that then. across the water was Seattle, WA - a frosty bitch of a city if there ever was one haha and i would ride the ferry over there a few times a week, trying to pick up my old hustle. the hustle that was one of the factors to my disintegration. there were other big things in the soup, but going going so fast fast, hustle hustle run hurry up get there to that gig fast and then that one over there - wore me out. i didn’t want to do that anymore but i hadn’t let go enough to stop all together. so i half hustled, ¼ hustled, turning in aimless circles and felt useless #sanctuary #refuge #safe #sensation #wornout #tired #fear #letgo #surrender #stubborn #water #sky #boat #landscape #americanlandscape #tellyourstory #listen #witness #compassion #photography #people #travel #thankyou (at Bainbridge, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Mltgkl5_F/?igshid=1v0nfac4xj7vz

#thenatureofrefuge the fascination with other mobile sanctuaries here in LA is everywhere. this one has been parked in front of this 7-11 since i got her last november, its a fixture on that street in that neighborhood. whoever lives in this magic van has claimed their space, their piece of cement in this city and they have no need for shame #bravo #sanctuary #refuge #streetlevel #lacamping #trucktales #noshame #livingoutside #women #stories #travel #thankyou (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxLulE0F77F/?igshid=1086qa1astpg6

#thenatureofrefuge in LA there are campers and vans in every neighborhood where people are living in them on the street - except in Beverly Hills of course :) its a phenomena that reaches across class, driven by need, parked in your front yard, the system is broke. sometimes these refuges are beautiful. #sanctuary #refuge #lacamping #lastreetlife #witness #blue #trucktales #beautiful #life #women #stories #travel #thankyou (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1B63LAFWIN/?igshid=1siv0u9uyvcmf
