Just came across this guy, Robert Ballen.

He's American, but spent most of his life in South Africa where he took pictures of a disturbing lower-class. It's some really bizarre stuff but I like some of it a lot.

He seems pretty established by the looks of the site and his publications. But he's definitely depressed. He's surrounded himself with horrifying poor people.

Dashboard Confessional and anime were around in the early 20s? Did they have hentai back then, too?

They surely didn't jack off. Back then, jacking off made you go blind.

Oh modern advancements.

Your first mistake was posting something serious on TW. Your second mistake was thinking anyone would take it seriously.

That being said, thanks for posting this. I hadn't heard of him before. He's got pretty amazing images.
