description: Twelve-year-old Juan Medina and his family live in a makeshift shack in a camp near San Diego, California. They and the other Mexican migrant workers call the camp \"el monte\", or \"the bush.\" Migrant workers like Juan's parents travel north as the fruits and vegetables ripen. The workers provide the muscle to harvest the crops. In this hones, provocative photographic essay, Larry Dane Brimmer shows how one migrant family gets along.
