Poverty isn’t always a dearth of possessions. It is a mode of living.

Des Moines WA

A smallish food bank in St John the Baptist (Anglican Church, Markyate, Hertfordshire). Many of you will be aware of the so-called "cost of living crisis" in the UK. This is Orwellian Newspeak. The truth is that we have a lot of poverty in Britain. My village, Markyate, is in general a prosperous place. I don't think that anybody goes hungry here. But it is also clear that more and more people feel the squeeze, even in this village, and that some are desperate to make ends meet. They may not go hungry, but they might lose their home. I am hearing that a food bank was opened in one of the schools of a neighbouring village and that among its customers are teachers from this school. Britain is in this respect returning to Dickensian times and we do need a new Friedrich Engels writing a new study of "the situation of the working class in England". Fuji X-E2.

If we did not make somebody poor." (William Blake)

مخطئ من يظن أن الفقر هو فقر الجيوب ..

وانما الفقر .. هو فقر القلوب ..

أولى تجاربي في تصوير حياة الشارع ..

أسعد دائماً بإطلالتكم وبتواجدكم

كما أنني لا أستغني عن مقترحاتكم وتوجيهاتكم ونقدكم البناء

.. فـ بها أرتقي وأتطور

pleaze, hraed te peppar....

(Please, read the paper)

After nearly 30 years of faithful service to a major financial institution, today I received my severence "package". While fairly reasonable, financially, I found myself thinking that in the literal sense, it looked rather thin... When I had "the meeting" today, I looked at it sitting there on the desk in front of me, and before I even read it, my first thought was: is that it?

Poverty - The Invisible

من از دیار عروسکها می آیم

از زیر سایه های درختان کاغذی

در باغ یک کتاب مصور

از فصل های خشک تجربه های عقیم دوستی و عشق

در کوچه های خاکی معصومیت

A child in "Sange Siah" neighborhood, Shiraz, Iran, March 2002

I have visited many houses on that neighborhood, and in all of them the common issues were extreme poverty and minimum standards of life.

I have put this picture here to remember what I promised myself on that time;

To rememeber a child who was playing with a headless doll,

To remember the old disable(paralysis) woman living in a damp,shrinked room as small as a bathroom with no carpet,

To rememeber the young woman with two children and the income of 6000 tomans for two months!

More views of Poverty Island built to mark the entrance to the Poverty Island Passage and to warn mariners headed to Escanaba from the dangerous shoals just off the south tip of the island.

Amongst chores beyond his years and poverty so unfairly struck upon him this boy is still thankful for what little he possesses.

I met a man at Red Fort. He had no feet. I stopped and squatted next to him and gave him some rupees and a look in the eyes. He pointed to the sky and smiled in gratitude. As I was wandering around I found his crutches and one prosthetic leg.

This is rural life in a depressed area in urban Manila. No deadlines, no rush hours, nothing to do, no livelihood & sadly no food to eat.

(As I was walking through a maze of slum dwellings, I chanced upon these two ladies grooming. I shot this during a photo shoot with our camera club youth group at Tondo, Manila)

caught this kids actually swimming in an open manhole in manila. they are happy from simple fun (although risky)!

Poverty and danger: theft of electricity!

This painting is based on a story I’ve heard from on of the charity organization. It’s regarding a family, who lived on onions and water for a long period till they were found by the organization.

This little man followed us around quite a bit and was quite the model. However judging by this photo I'm not sure how much he liked having his photo taken...

These three words are enough, that would characterize the whole Laos

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I fear no evil, for You are with me;

Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

(Psalm 23, 4)
