You're not in Disneyworld anymore: Florida's 'shadow country' laid bare by photographer who spent months traveling through the Sunshine State's wild side

Its great to see people living the American Dream!!

Flrodai. Seen in the caption on pic 3. Are you kidding me?!

He photographs the way DM writes, with little regard for composition.

Florida's just a swamp.

Wild side = Trailer parks..

Poverty in the USA is shocking compared to what you see in Western Europe though.

I can't believe this "photographer" actually got a spread in the DM. These are average pictures that could be anywhere in the US, especially all over the South.

Yes. If you're used to having a holiday in Egypt or Tunisia, don't bother coming here, nothing to see, honest.

Disney World is in Florida. Disneyland is in California.

Try looking around 10km from Disney Paris much more scary

Florida is literally larger than England, so there will be poor areas.

Wow, these photos are soulless. You can capture beauty and humanity with just about any palette to work with. These photos do neither.

I moved there for 9 years and was so glad to leave. Nice place to visit but that's about it. I miss friends and family but that's it. Screwed up economy down there. Never live in a 'right to work' state. You get screwed over wage wise for the same career you had up north.

Now can you see why people are longing to make America great again? Not everyone is eating lox bagels or sippin on lattes down at Starbucks like the hipsters. You can see why the fact that these people are armed to hilt scares the death out of a certain segment who believe that putting Harriet on the 20.equals a pressing matter.

You mean Disneyworld - which is in Orlando - not Disneyland - which is in Calif.

"The snapper"! Why use slang? We are all familiar with the word "photographer"! These DM journalists are so annoying with their daft wording.

The pictures are pointless if they don't have an accompanying story, all I see is pictures.

Earthquakes?? That is like me saying they have killer tornado's in London.

There are NO MANGROVES pictured....Cypress trees and cypress knees......BIG difference.........FISH...................

There are places like this all over the civilised western world, the government there just don't want you to see them, just the Disneyland places.
