Oh, my. The story is written on their faces. I am captured by this sad, strong, complex portrait you've created. #1570930

The story is one we hear way to often. The picture is a beautiful work of journalism and helps tell the story and I love the sepia tone you put to it. Amazing real life work you do Michelle. #11029241

Not an unusual living arrangement these days, unfortunately, but at least they have a place to stay. Wonderful portrait, Michelle! #11029408

Fantastic capture-I wonder if their mother would be smiling if she really knew the course her son,s lives were taking. #11029646
