    I'm a survivor

    Taken in the summertime downtown on Yonge Street here in Toronto.
    Came upon a woman sitting in the shade of a construction hoarding begging for money.
    Her sign and expression told her sad story.
    Converted to black and white in Photoshop.
    Motorized Nikon F3P

    Good one...but if she had raised her kids, why is she alone and not being taken cared of by any of them? Good story but a sad one...

    Good capture. I don't want to appear cruel but I always have difficulty distinguishing the true needy from professional beggars.
