In May of 2009 I went up to Seattle to do a three day road trip around the Olympic Peninsula with my friend Shane.
Driving through some small town along the way, we came across a dilapidated motel and decided to stop and take a look. While I was in front peering through the window into the office, Shane circled around to the back and stumbled across a family rummaging though the rooms attempting to salvage items they could sell.
We all chatted for a bit about the state of the economy and before we left I asked the eldest brother if I could shoot his portrait.
