Thank you, Bob. We see homeless every day, but two helpless women like this, yet obviously resourceful given their circumstances, under those ‘promising future’ signs… just more tragically ironic evidence.
Thank you so much, Maurizio. That’s high praise indeed. Thank you.
Photographing homeless people is, as more than one noted street photography blogger has pointed out, tricky due to the ethical questions raised by the act of taking such images and then displaying them online.
In this case, as the title suggests, reality has interceded to push those issues aside.
When women are falling by twos to the sidewalk in front of signs promising great careers to women in the beauty trade… someone needs to make that picture.
Thank you again for visiting and commenting, Maurizio.

It’s a pleasure. Keep in touch my friend
the shoot is a slap in the face: realistic, real and it tells a long story: Magnum’s level 🙂
