The Holdouts

The Holdouts is the debut photobook by American photographer Ben Marcin. It offers a unique view of the city of Baltimore and its surrounding areas through three very different sets of homes.

We are taken to marginalized homes and houses, some as old as 250 years, others just months old, found in and around Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Marcin shows us solo row houses in the inner city that somehow survived the wrecking ball; abandoned houses on the Eastern Shore where the last generations of families either passed away or moved on after decades of farming the land; and temporary homeless camps in the city, none of which have ever survived for more than a year.
