Correct me if Im wrong, but I think this is the first woman photographed in your "poverty" series. Another great addition. I find it so interesting how each photo captures such a unique expression. I find hers to be quite ambiguous. I could interpret a wide range of emotion here.

Thanks!!! :))

PeterParker: indeed correct; the women tend to be acutely distressed by their appearance... and thus horrified by the prospect of it being recorded

Oooof another one. ... Every time i see one of these pop up on my contacts page i have to collect myself before clicking on it. The more extreme ones are sometimes easier ... the together ones are closer to home .... which is realy close.

There is a great story (theory) my uncle told me years ago about people who are in situations like this. After seeing your photos I think its true. Some day I'll bore ya with it. I agree with mknobil, book?
