Description
I was about to take a candid shot of this couple when they noticed me and posed..then they asked for money because they were going to "buy a camera, too, today". I gave them some money not because I believed them, but because they let me take their picture. The Fine Art logo will not appear on image.

Sandi you masterfully caught a stark and striking image of people who are so often shunted aside and neglected because they do not fit into our pristine expectations of how they should behave or look like.
