December 7, 2006


Thursday's Totally Informal Transglobal Challenge:
"one year older and wiser"

Older? Without a doubt.
Wiser? Well.... maybe.


Then again, maybe NOT.

Congratulations to Lee and Bev
for starting such a popular tradition.

This deserves a handout!!!!!!!!

Good capture. I wonder about his approach, though. I think I would rather believe he is buying food before I would contribute.
Bryan Murahashi08-Dec-2006 15:47
Nice, honest candid.
Guest 08-Dec-2006 07:38
I'm all for honesty. If two people a few weeks ago had said to me "we are pickpockets and we are about to rob you" I would have been more prepared!
Dennis Hoyne08-Dec-2006 04:59
Must be a trend, saw a guy up here in Minneapolis with pretty much the same sign. Nice shot, hope you gave him a little change.
Guest 08-Dec-2006 04:55
I would give him a quarter for honesty
Guest 08-Dec-2006 04:50

I tried something like this once too. But I still haven't got that 5D ;-)
Linda Matta07-Dec-2006 22:45

Jen Bixler07-Dec-2006 20:43
I wonder if his honesty pays off? Curious if people still give him money....I heard Phil Collins song today, "Another Day in Paradise" and this image fits it so very well.

This is great entry. The comparison between shots is striking. BTW the slogan has been adopted here in Toronto as well. Just replaced with dop :-)
