40 cent hot dog!

I met this man while walking around Key West. He was sitting on the concrete steps and I just loved his face. I asked if I could take his picture and he said yes and picked up his walking cane and used it like a guitar!!. After I finished, he asked me for 40cents for a hot dog! I gave him two dollars. As the day wore on, I wished I had given him more. You never know when you’re going to meet an angel! I hope I didn’t fail that test!

Taken with a Canon XTI.

You know what Gina you did good, it realy isnt the amount that is given it is more the effort that went into helping someone, I am sure you made his day, just by talking to him, sometimes all they want is for someone to recognize that they are there and are people too, well done Gina….gina (hehehehe)

Congrats on your feature. I like the picture, but to be honest, I love the story! How you explain the title. They always say, the story behind the picture….. Well, I think this is an amazing example.
