Documentary Photography and the Grotesque

Documentaary photographers often focus on grotesque situations and people who are outsiders, outcasts, ill, insanes, etc. The above photo is by Jessica Dimmock who spent almost two years interacting with (and sometimes staying with, for days) a group of addicts in a squat apartment. You can see more of her work here: http://www.americansuburbx.com/2009/02/jessica-dimmock-dove-headlong-into.html. This site contains A LOT of interesting work - please spend some time looking though it and we can talk about whose work you found most interesting.
