The food bank
The thing is that this car drove up to the church where there is a food bank inside. I had a chat with this eminently nice couple who brought a basket full of tins etc. for the food bank. They enjoyed riding open in this vintage sports car and preferred it to their heavy and expensive electric limousine. And why did I feel uneasy about this scene? I believe that this kind of charity, well-intentioned as it is, does not address the root cause of poverty which, in turn, forces people to use food banks. The other thing is that, socially, there is no contact between donor and taker. The two will never meet - and perhaps they would not want to. Fuji X-Pro1 plus Helios 44M-7 wide-open.
