I have nothing against runaway teen hitchhikers. They’re vagabonds and adventure seekers. If you live in LA (or any major city), you know you’ve seen them. But the ONE issue I have is that they need to make an attempt to clean up more. I know, I KNOW. I get it. They’re vagrants. But still! Try to look like your skin has touched the element of water at least once the past month. Take a dip in the ocean. It’s free. And sea water is very good for you. But I digress. Here are a few select photographs taken of freight train hitchhikers by photographer Mike Brodie.
