The sleeping Princess by Jeff Davies

The sleeping Princess by

I am still haunted by this image and often think what became of her.
I was wandering the maze like alleys of old town when I came across this woman laying beside an open gutter. I have come across many impoverished people during my travels, but none that have had the same impact as this woman dressed in her plastic top.

This image is for sale, but if it is required for usage by an NGO I will happily supply the full high res at no cost.

    One wonders what travails in life led her to this position. Very emotive shot

    Really powerful image Jeff – and I’m glad it’s here to remind us of what is and could be.
