Poverty

Paris, Champs Elysee

it is getting more and more dramatic for many people...
there have always been beggars in the street, but now there are too many.
Many very poor people wouldn't even show their poverty...very often that's fatal and ends with a suicide...
would you go in the street and beg for some food? terrible issue!

I hate seeming cynical amidst all this lamentation and Marley-esque hand wringing...but that's the best dressed beggar I've ever seen....love the colors and light....V

A wonderful & moving image Barbara, and I have to agree with what the others have already stated re the sad plight of the needy. v

This world should have plenty to go round if not for the greed of some...so sad to see, Barbara.

it is humiliating to have to beg for your food... it looks as the shift to the right, with its ignorance for disadvantaged people, is haunting Europe at the moment a very impressive capture Barbara V (for the capture)

Excellent! V!

You do what you have to do. Yes, we are getting more and more homeless people here too. It is a sad existence. Seems to be happening everywhere. This is quite powerful and moving. I just want to hug this person.

A slice of less fortunate life .

Guest		23-Oct-2010 03:28
You have captured the sad part of our society! Your photo is actually talking! I have a similar one but not as masterfully photographed as yours in my "Tale of Two cities" gallery! They are gypsies and not that fortunate!

Margaret Lew		23-Oct-2010 02:39
Beautiful image but so painful!

Martha Albuquerque		23-Oct-2010 02:11
