Young Homeless Couple

It was a cold and blustery day in late October, Len and Katrina both

just 19 and homeless, Wait with a group of others in anticipation

for a meal van to arrive in a small park in downtown Milwaukee,

Wisconsin. I myself was barely out of homelessness living in a

rooming house but with very limited means so I was there waiting for

hot soup and sandwiches myself. I always loved photography and was

able to procure an old beat up Pentax K-1000 from a Hock shop for

just a couple of bucks given that I accepted a "no return clause", I

accepted the risk and to my surprise the camera actually worked.I

just happend to have the old pentax with me one day at the site

loaded with regular Tri-X when I snapped this scene purly by

instinct. To my surprise, the photo took first place in regional

competition "KINSA" for black and white
