Hard Times
New York, New York
2017

My first thought on seeing this woman begging on the street was that Lisbeth Salander had fallen on hard times. Lisbeth or not, if the meager collection of pennies and nickels in her beggar’s cup was any indication, she was definitely seeing some hard times. My contribution probably didn’t improve her situation appreciably but it somewhat assuaged my guilt for taking photographic advantage of her plight.
