Homeless Frustration
Posted by Barbara (Florida, United States) on 19 September 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.
Alone in the park, the young man who appears aged told me his story of despair. Losing the love of his life and unborn child to a drunk driver. It was the beginning of the end for him.
My thanks to all who venture here to see this photo. I appreciate your compliments and letting me know that I accomplished expressing emotion through the lens. I am grateful for your comments and inspired by it being a Feature Photo on Aminus3 Homepage. 8
