FADER 57: Life on Hawaii’s Waianae Coast Feature Story
- story Eric Ducker

Photographer Sasha Cutter, along with her twin brother Knut, has been documenting the lives of Hawaii’s Waianae Coast residents for the past three years. Many of the subjects live in makeshift homes or tents, exposing a much harder life than the idealized version most of us hold of island life in the Aloha State. After the jump, read Eric Ducker’s essay on Cutter’s photography from FADER 57, and click here to watch the last in our series of slideshows, narrated by four of Waianae’s residents.

In the previous online supplements to our Photo Issue, we focused on AIDS in America, immigration, urban economic issues, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — all issues facing our President-elect Obama. Now, in our final installment, we go to Obama’s one-time home state of Hawaii for photographer Sasha Cutter’s photos of the homeless population on the Waianae Coast. Above, watch an extended edit of Cutter’s photo essay, narrated by the story’s writer, FADER deputy editor Eric Ducker, and residents of Waianae. Read the full story here.
