This was one of those "desparate" for any shot days.

Two of the participants in the recent free Syria demonstration in the plaza.

This person is new to the street scene in El Paso and as is evident in the previous two post in my photostream my interest has been peaked.

My first attraction was the wagon and the way it had been modified and how the load was specifically balanced and that it was a woman pulling the load. At this point things began to get curiouser and curiouser.

View this capture on large and zero in on the face; that is more than a five o'clock shadow and the part of the leg that is showing is on the manly side and I have been close enough to hear a deep voice and one last point the top doesn't look right.

Life on the street is hard and is often cruel and the longer a person is on the street the more survival instincts they must use and estimates are that one-third of homeless are people with mental problems.

After years of working with and counseling homeless individuals I have learned not to judge and at the same time not to be a "bleeding heart" but I know this - compassion is always in demand and should not be in short supply. This individual, like many others, has fallen through all the "cracks" and has had to rely on his/her whits and mental limitations.
