..only ten bucks but, please, don't be rude.......

I would like to dedicate this gallery to a woman,a friend of mine who has surrendered to life.
She sells her body in the bathrooms of the train station for a few changes.
I can only imagine her pain and the shame that she feels in her heart.
Our society forces us to extreme choices. An instant of weakness and you can find yourself living on the borders and to use the only resource that remains to you:the desperation.

The Photos themselves are powerful,with the backstory they pound the human soul. Well done on a difficult subject

Powerful photography, Francesco. It's uncomfortable to look at these, as well it should be. You really drive home the pain and vulnerability here.

sometimes life is sad

Life can be immensely unjust as you so poignantly illustrate with this gallery dedicated to your friend. It does not matter if she was the one who posed for the photos or if you used a model. What matters is your compassion and desire to use your artist's voice in a way to try to reconcile her desperation and pain with your wish that she have a better life. It's never easy to watch suffering.

Why do some people have to be so agressive is just beyond me. And cowards, on top of it all, abusing the "guest" title.
Great work, francesco. v
endre novak 20-Mar-2008 21:13
strong work on this.

Fransesco: Great gallery, and well done. There'sa lot more to this gallery that simply the twelve photos shown here. You've risen to a very difficult challange, and handled it tastefully and with skill. Good photographers need to support each other's vision when that vision is successfully realized as it is here. Best of luck to your friend. Bravo, and vote. Lee
