...not to destroy the mood and your intended point of this photo, but there are people in los angeles that ride the bus system and as a result, sit at the bus stops with bags while waiting for the buses. The reason this particular situation catches my eye is because all of her bags match. Most "bums" don't seek out and keep their things in matching plastic bags. I spend a lot of time on public transportation and in areas with homeless people and this really doesn't seem to be what you are portraying it as.

A wonderful photo. I love how you put this in black and white, it gives a good feel to the image. The lighting looks great, and the overall positioning.

I thought I left a comment on this already - I still find this hard to look at - seriously, almost makes me cry. Can I get a print of this?

I'm sorry I didn't notice this before. I just read your blog and I saw the link and decided to check it out.
This is absolutely fantastic...
Every time I look at your street photos you make me want to steal a Leica (since I can't afford one yet) and live on the streets of L.A. or NYC.
Thank you...

Excellent shot!
Pictures like this, where the subject can be so depressing, and yet the end result is so engaging always intrigue me.

It's important to remember that today society leaves people in the street like that. It's not that we must feel guilty, but always remeber that people needs a whole lot more than we do.

It's not only a picture but also the reflection of the society. There are millions of people that live like her, be poor , hungry and homeless! we could feel for her!
