Milan, Italy. Italy's pulsing heart of fashion, business, shopping, consumes. Just before a Christmas in times of crisis, the other side of the consumes' society, the disadvantaged, those who don't benefit & enjoy the holidays if not indirectly, hoping for some more generosity than usual.

Very good work. Interesting "tight" angles to it and I love the vertical orientation of the images - centers the person in it.
Thanks for posting them.

Interesting work. You've managed to avoid the images appearing exploitative (a common problem with this subject matter in particular), and some of them are very touchingly done.

Thank you very much everyone for viewing and commenting, very much appreciated indeed. It's a delicate subject, but one that deserves our attention, I feel, in today's tough times. Thanks again!
