William CamargoThese two Anaheim residents keep their cultural traditions alive in their own ways.Anaheim, California - often called "Anacrime" by locals - is the home of Disneyland, but it's far from being "The Happiest Place on Earth."

This week, The Guardian reported that Disneyland's low wages are putting their employees at risk and contributing to the homeless epidemic in Orange County. That, combined with the repeated police killings of unarmed Latinos, have led to some of the loudest protests and civil unrest that the community has ever experienced.

Local fine-art photographer William Camargo shows the city's lesser-seen side in his "Anaheim: The Happiest City on Earth" photo series.

"I wanted to show people that this city is not just made of this one entity, which is Disneyland," Camargo told Business Insider. Below, see a local's perspective on Anaheim.
