Distressed
Uploaded: April 02, 2007
We can across this begger in Puerto Rico. I gave him some money and asked if I could take his picture. He then asked me if I wanted to take a picture of his swollen legs... Poor guy. Converted to sepia tones in Photostudio. I like BP's new look! It seems a little slower though.
