The Chicago Tribune has an audio slideshow by Kuni Takahashi looking at the hidden poor of Illinois. Nicely shot, the transition/text frames are well designed. Simple, elegant. Worth spending seven minutes with.

Holy cow. I am seriously in awe of how she managed to cover just about every type of poor person/aspect of poverty in under 7 minutes. Some amazing storytelling there. Or should I say amazing editing.
And the images themselves are gorgeous.
That all being said - IS EVERY POOR PERSON IN BLACK AND WHITE?!
Yeah, the depth of field would be distracting in color. Yeah, the blown-out skies would be distracting in color. But I really wanted to see the colors inside that trailer, or the colors of the beads in that last guy's hair or the glow of that crack pipe. .
