This is a lovely photo series of the homes people make in slums.

Slums are often not what we picture in our heads, with unwashed masses living in filth. In Turkey, Morocco and many other countries, slum-dwellers keep their small living spaces far cleaner than the average middle class American.

In this piece, I love the bright colors. In Turkish slums the inside walls and balconies are often painted bright pastel green, blue or purple, while the exterior of the buildings is only cement and some exposed brick that one could imagine disintegrating in seconds in an earthquake.
