Hardship

Taken around dawn in the centre of Paris. It was so cold, I almost stopped walking around to get warm but found this family on the street. The kids must have been only 1 or 2 years old, which was a really heartbreaking thing to imagine how tough that family's life must be. No society should turn a blind eye and allow that on their streets. But it struck me how great a gap there was between this family's lives and those of the people still making their way home after having the luxury to be out all night.

tools of the trade/daily survival

For the past few months this has been a regular sight for me. Camera for most eventualities, coffee and cake to keep me awake mid afternoon and something to keep my son Josh amused/fed/thirst quenched. I will be going back to regular work from Monday and will miss having so much freedom and fun with my son. I won't miss the 15+kg of baby and equipment that I carried around on my front and back, but will miss everything else. I will try my best to keep a camera handy wherever I am in future too and even if I can't manage daily posts, I hope to make a couple every week. This week was a bit erratic and I wanted to try film again after such a long stint of digital. Hope the negatives don't take too long to develop...
