November 15 - 'Have-not' and 'have' - worlds apart.

I caught the bus into Seville today to help out at an urban mission our church is a part of giving out food, clothing and employment training. While waiting for the bus home I walked down near the river Guadalquivir where this scene presented itself. This image wasn't the best one I made today but it's the one that says the most. I don't want to say anything about what might lead to the obvious separation in wealth between the woman below and the man above but I think this image portrays well the fact that most people with money, which to be honest is most of us viewing this image, have little idea of the hard world below of the have-nots.

Here are a couple of other photos I took in Seville today:




Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM
1/350s f/4.5 at 85.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I believe it would still be a powerfull image without the man. It does tell a story, the kind we prefer not to hear most of the time.... Is this the part where they left the expo-village to rot? Found that rather shocking to see! ~gmv~
