Begging Youth | Summer 12 | Perthos Gallery

This part of town has alwys had its fair share of bums and beggars. What struck me on that day was that the beggars were all young people. Half of them were young women. They all had signs saying, "I'm broke. Can you help me?" Sad, really.

I speculate that it takes a lot of chutzpah to beg on the streets and wonder why these people don't apply some of that nerve to more productive endeavours. Or maybe begging is that productive.
