Beggars

It was 11:30 pm. It does not look it, but the street was very dark.

The fast film and fast lens together do a very god job under those

conditions. I walked around a corner, and I was confronted by these

beggars. They were very cheerful, and, eventually, I managed to

convey to them that I was penniless. All I could offer them was some

tobacco. They were happy. I do not think that the Romanian Tourist

Board will be buying this photograph, but it was reality.
