For Sale... by Mark Tull

I’ve been a little hesitant to upload this image, mainly due to the subject matter. / However, i feel it shows a changing pattern in culture, especially in London, where people, including children, pitch up on the pavement, and sell what ever they have, this kid had a multitude of T.V. remotes, some random cables, women’s shoes, and a bike pump. / I gave him a pound for letting me take his photograph, and a business card, of course. / Shot with canon eos 450D, and compassion.

Generations by Tatum Wulff

Family in a rural village in Laos. Laos was a French colony at the start of the 20th century. It was a union of two former kingdoms, Luang Prabang and Vientiane. The French administered it as a territory within the protectorate of French Indo-China. After World War II, French Indo-China was divided up into three independent countries within the French Union: Cambodia, Laos (independent on 1949-07-19), and Vietnam. Staying over night in the village, at the whimsical invitation of a woman I met on a local bus, was one of the best chances I ever took on my travels. Spending a couple days with the children, families and elders of this village will remain one of my most memorable of experiences. They were all precious!!!

Street Portrait 2 by Delany Dean

Second in a series I have just begun. There’s a group on Flickr called $2 Portraits (very simple concept: approach people on the street, ask if you can take their picture for $2). I read about it a few months ago, and liked the idea, but have just now gotten around to putting it into action. Here is the blog post written by the guy who started this project, and who also started the Flickr group for those who want to do this. Camera: Canon EOS 50D (24-105mm lens) / Exposure: 0.003 sec (1/400) / Aperture: f/4.5 / Focal Length: 84 mm / ISO Speed: 100

" Resurection " by CanyonWind

Surprise is not the word for it . Today I saw this young man . Last year I witnessed his death myself . He had stopped breathing on the sidewalk just as the ambulance was heard approaching . He was loaded into the ambulance and proclaimed dead on the scene . On the way to the county hospital he gave a gasp and then stopped . The Paramedics Went to work on him and managed to keep him breathing until the hospital . A year later I saw this . Some people never get a second chance . He is taking medication for his aids . Otherwise he is doing well . Still living on the streets , but we will see about that . / POP’s

Jane Doe by Riggzy

I asked her what her name was. Jane Doe.

Warm, cosy fire.... by Mark Tull

/ Spare a thought this winter…. / London, England. / Canon eos 450D / Accompanying poem by Ainsley As holidays draw near / Frost covers the ground / Family and friends / Gather cheerfully around / The warmth of a hearth / In a home decorated / To celebrate the season / Keeping toasty, saturated / With the heat emanating / From a roaring, rich fire / Soothing souls with its comfort / As flames shoot ever higher. / But what of those wandering / In a citys harsh jungle? / No wood to warm / Tired bones as they crumble / In heaps as they cling to / Any heat source, they cower.. / So hopeless their fight / Against winter’s fierce power. / So, if you should see a lost soul / On your way home, bitter cold… / Be thankful for what’s waiting / Behind your front door. / For the body that’s desperate / Against steel gutter’s grate / Is no different from yours, / Just separated by fate.

JOHN DOE…Daily I passed by him / As he sat on the park bench / Newspapers stuffed in his pants and shirt / Backpack sitting next to him
