Mother and Child....

[Old Timer]

Street people Acapulco, Mexico 1978.

Coming from an amatuer--- I like the photo but feel like the woman's face is too dark so it's missing the emotion of her face.

[Old Timer]

In all honesty there was no emotion in her face. All emotion had been drained out of her and she was just thankful for a place to sit and sleep with her child.

Very powerful photo O.T.

The physical positioning of the women and child in relationship to the decadence of the shoe displayed in the window speaks volumes. The line of the curb and its strength directed away from the women and child makes her plight even more forlorn.

This is a very good street photograph.

This is the kind of photograph I really wish I could take. It says something far deeper and more significant than any number of "pretty" pictures. I don't know about you, but pictures like this, whether to view or to take, always make me feel a little like a voyeur - and I feel guilty. Maybe that's the intent.
