As others have pointed out, the title doesn't really match the photo, as it doesn't look like a city of tents. That being said I think it's a good photo. The bare, dirty-looking arm hanging out of the tent and the fact that it's among high grass and next to a rusting car door tell us that he's likely indigent. I look forward to more in this series. Maybe the series will bear out the "tent city" designation?
