I understand your point but let me tell you that yours is a profession by whish one can/could be more helpful. Being that health is something homeless first get lost with. I can't say your job and the pictures you've been taking for so many years wouldn't be of any help though... but... have you ever thought of presenting your book to some medicine/medical labs so they can help you help others in the hospital ? I'm not saying all or part of those children would be sickness and kicking around now but that would surely help get more funds for research and so. Two years back I was offered to shoot at what it's the most important pediatric hospital in Latin America, at least that's what they say. It's called Hospital Pedro Garrahan and it's located close to Buenos Aires downtown. I think I'll be back there... so I can get a bigger view. And respect is something that I'd say pops up with every of your photographs, indeed. Though compassion is a feeling I'm not very fond of regards Pablo kididdoc@cox.net wrote: > Pablo, open your eyes to the bigger view. They may not be homeless, > but all the same many have died.
