520 8  In 2010, more Americans lived below the poverty line than 
       at any time since 1959, when the U.S. Census Bureau began 
       collecting this data. In 2011, Kira Pollack, Director of 
       Photography at 'TIME', commissioned photographer Joakim 
       Eskildsen to capture the growing crisis, affecting nearly 
       46.2 million Americans. Based on census data, the places 
       with the highest poverty rates were chosen when Eskildsen,
       together with journalist Natasha del Toro, traveled to New
       York, California, Louisiana, South Dakota, and Georgia 
       over seven months to document the lives of the people 
       behind the statistics. The people Joakim Eskildsen has 
       portrayed are people who struggle to make ends meet, who 
       have lost their jobs or homes, and often live in unhealthy
       conditions. They usually remain invisible in the American 
       society to which the myth of the American Dream is still 
       very strong. Many of the people held there was no such 
       dream anymore, merely the American Reality
