That’s why it’s hard. … When they say ‘ruin porn’ they’re talking about empty, abandoned structures. My work has to do with living, breathing people and the difficult task of getting through this moment — which we will — and building a future. So no, I don’t look at it as ruin porn at all. <strong>This is a document of us getting ourselves back together</strong>.”</p> </blockquote>http://brownpapertape.tumblr.com/post/43101483500http://brownpapertape.tumblr.com/post/43101483500Thu, 14 Feb 2013 17:21:48 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/3da8175bf9bf172740650cffade11634/tumblr_mhhn6bpeKw1qhcxj3o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://brownpapertape.tumblr.com/post/41939447632http://brownpapertape.tumblr.com/post/41939447632Thu, 31 Jan 2013 06:42:11 -0500Paul Hadleyphotographycolor2000s<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/c69277faa4faa24f065302bb90ff49ed/tumblr_mhhn4zEbGO1qhcxj3o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://brownpapertape.tumblr.com/post/41939426250http://brownpapertape.tumblr.com/post/41939426250Thu, 31 Jan 2013 06:41:23 -0500Manhattanphotography2013colorNew York<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcu1mcoVID1r251tno1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://brownpapertape.tumblr.com/post/41649112631http://brownpapertape.tumblr.com/post/41649112631Sun, 27 Jan 2013 18:08:14 -0500photographysea<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c20e7f211efed6231f780980ab9fb626/tumblr_mhax7n6N0X1qhcxj3o1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://brownpapertape.tumblr.com/post/41635761325http://brownpapertape.tumblr.com/post/41635761325Sun, 27 Jan 2013 15:35:47 -0500Daniel FarsonRichard Burtonblack and whitephotography1950s<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/5aa4b4ec4555683e7372bed286066cc9/tumblr_mhax4nxUUL1qhcxj3o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://brownpapertape.tumblr.com/post/41635603275http://brownpapertape.tumblr.com/post/41635603275Sun, 27 Jan 2013 15:33:59 -0500Andrew MedichiniVatican CityphotographyChristianity<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/7705ce275811e5a6faee8fb3731b6e47/tumblr_mhax1zqvhD1qhcxj3o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://brownpapertape.tumblr.com/post/41635459206http://brownpapertape.tumblr.com/post/41635459206Sun, 27 Jan 2013 15:32:23 -0500UkrainejournalismAlexander Khudoteplyphotography<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/2e1e651150d633318a5ad15f89be52e1/tumblr_mhax0jMjVv1qhcxj3o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://brownpapertape.tumblr.com/post/41635382032http://brownpapertape.tumblr.com/post/41635382032Sun, 27 Jan 2013 15:31:31 -0500Pakistanjournalismwar photographyA.
