Surviving

Havana, Cuba. There are many women dressed in costume, holding cigars. They pose for photos, asking the tourists for a dollar. This particular lady appeared lost in thought, she looked so sad. She did not notice me until after I had taken the picture.

At first I thought the pic was funny, but then I noticed her sadness. What a grotesque world we’re livin in. Great story-telling image.

She is dressed do girly. Then I see that giant cigar in on mouth and she uses a walking cane. I Guess this is her way of making money. Great candid shot.
