Escape From the Hill
I arrived at the homeless encampment known as The Hill this morning at around 10 a.m. As I entered the area to begin taking pictures, I was immediately surrounded by three California Highway Patrolmen who told me to leave the area. They “escorted” me to the Public Information Officer for Caltrans who said I would not be allowed to enter the area where they were destroying tents and other structures of the homeless people who lived there. I was forced to stand outside of the fence and take photos from that distance, even though their were other photographers standing where I had just been removed from.
