How very sad. And the darkness and B&W of the shot seem to emphasize the bleakness of it all.

This is sad. I know at least two people close to me are being foreclosed on right now too. It's such a sad commentary on society when houses sit empty while people live on the streets.

Great to hear that the hip-hop (I mean OP) went well. Look forward to seeing you up and about real soon taking some of those wonderful shots.


Hi Gregg..that was actually this one


they worked out a deal with the bank and are still living in the house, while the farm is on the mkt for sale..no idea how they are making a living.

Very sad!

When you look at this it's hard to believe this is 2009. This is a sad commentary on the state of our economy. Very well done!

well I was jut about to comment on how much I liked the composition with the smoke and the way the girl is looking at us and then I read the commentary which left me feeling rather sad.
It just highlights how the true facts behind a picture can influence your impresion of it.
