When I was in Paris last year, I made a few bags with some little things. Like a tooth-brush,tooth-paste, a currant-bun, a package of fruit juice and an apple. I knew there were many beggars, so I could give something to them. Otherwise I dont know what to do when a person ask me for some food or money.

The answer was often a big smile!

About the photo; I love it. I love the sepia and the colour of the white walking-stick! And you made a good frame, allthough I dont know what the print is....

Greetings Janneke

Hello Ruud,
Poverty well depicted in this daily life photo. Good composition with effective sepia conversion. Best wishes. Danilo

Hello Ruud, Very good portrait. Good choice of Sepia here. Good sharpness and good composition.

Well done! Marie-José

Hi Ruud,

Unfortunately, there are poor people even at the richest countries and cities of the world! :(
A great, shocking photo! The sepia tones add to the composition and enhance the contrast!

Very well done and TFS

Hi Ruud,

Although quite sad, it is the real world and you did a terrific job capturing this portrait. Nice colorization effect, gives impact to the scene.

Hi Ruud, well done composure here, well-expressed subj and nice pov with lens 'looking down' as some people annoyingly do. TFS.

Your camera is magic, Ruud. You capture the essence of it all. So much sadness in the world.
