Lady With Bags

Andy | Tuesday, March 25, 2014 | Best Blogger Tips

Before I took this photo she was scrounging through the garbage but she's too well dressed to be a bag lady.

    Its a sight you see most often in east european surroundings and don't expect it on your side of the ocean.

    She's carrying quite a heavy load. I hope she has somewhere to go.

    It is very sad to see older people on the street. ugh.

    She might have been to the charity shop and got new clothes.

    The homeless in our area are usually dressed very well. The other day I was talking with a young guy who had new orange tennis shoes that matched his orange shirt. A lot of it is a reflection of the free social services in the area. Nice capture...makes you wonder about her story.

    Maybe not a bag lady, but maybe very poor. She is digging in the garbage for some reason. I wonder what she found?

    Bless her heart. I've heard of hoarders going through the garbage. Who knows? It's a wonderful image whatever the circumstances.

    Who says bag ladies can't have style? You have captured an urban icon. Well done. As a sociologist once pointed out, American has the best dressed poor in the world.

    This photo evokes a lot of thoughts. She may be a hoarder. Very colorful image!

    Awful to think about and hopefully she has a warm place to stay.

    We have a moderate population of homeless here, some of whom look similar to her. Others, far worse.

    I don't know, Andy. That face has seen some hard living.

    She reminds me of a woman who would ask for a dollar near Greenwood subway. She had a home and a family in the area but was little emotionally disturbed. Great capture.
