Ahh, quite a contrast abundance/deprivation.

So interesting! Perhaps some of these things belong to people who are absent, or perhaps she is recently homeless and hasn't been able to let go of some things. It reminds me of my husband's cousin's plight. I don't think he was homeless (though he may have been), but he was murdered in San Diego and left face down in a stream. He was in his 30's and addicted to heroin.

What a shame there are so many like this in America's Finest City -- and elsewhere. A photo that depicts a sad side of life. Nicely photographed.

@beth2015 @cejaanderson @aglennc I was back at this location a couple of hours later & it was homeless party central. Music & cheap booze & about 5-6 more folks.

Nicely composed, interesting, and so sad. But I guess it's better than being homeless in Toronto in the winter.

Great B&W!

Wonderful B&W but so sad to see this happen to someone. Wonder where is the family?

@tristansmum @lan @miata2u Perhaps I am too jaded. The streets of San Diego are overrun with the homeless. It is too easy to avoid empathy, claiming overload.
I don't like shooting the homeless. I have not done so in quite awhile. Her having spread out all her stuff over such a large area just grabbed my attention- I shoot what catches my eye. Her scene did just that.

This is oddly fascinating... One (that would be "me") could make so many assumptions..which is what an interesting photo stirs in us... Your follow-up visit is just as interesting as well...

@Weezilou It is too easy for me to make assumptions, I have opinions, based around the concept of personal responsibility.
Thanks for commenting.
