Woman On Ocean Blvd.

images like this one shake me to my core, sitting here safely on my big fat american couch.

Malia is her street name.

Real photography. I like this one very much. You have perfect eye and you are very good photographer. Congratulations! Warm regards.

Another powerful and very impressive image.

Thank you. I do not think I am a good photographer but I compliment myself to think that I move through a lot of lives and help people be important.

Meir,

I can't say I've enjoyed your photography but I certainly appreciate it. Outstanding work looking into the lives of "people"...

Good show!!!

This image sends such a strong message you can almost see it written across her face. On the technical side, perfectly cropped and overall balance of tone.

tragic. i can't help wonder how old she is, and what brought her to this kind of life. i am guessing addiction led her to prostitution, but what led her to addiction in the first place?

This image makes me feel sad. That is what good photography is all about for me. The measure of a good photo is that it makes me feel SOMETHING.

Thank you Kathy for taking the time to look and comment....and what does she do when she gets older?

Perhaps,as you say, you are not a big photographer, not for the front page of "Vanity Fair", but you show us what's happen around the corner of our home and this is, beleive me I know, the hardest reporting a photographer can do.

Congratultions, Paolo

P.S. If "Vanity Fair" contact you it makes a good business....

Yes Paolo thank you. Vanity Fair will use us instead of Annie Leibovitz Covers :-). We will be famous and rich.

well done ..

Meir, thank you for sharing Malia's story. i am glad to know that drugs are not her problem. still prostitution is such a dangerous business as your story relates!

this is photography at his best, grazie, Giuseppe

A very good and "real" portrait of, at least, what life also is. Regards.

I did not understand

Lange meets Weston in this image. outstanding piece.

Thank you for you time to visit and comment. I appreciate.

I thought of you while in San Francisco, where there are many street people. This is a very powerful and real image of a part of humanity you remind us of. Thank you. Warm regards from Miami.

Thank you for visiting, commenting and also thinking of me. I lived in San Francisco in the 50s and it was not that way then.

Powerful image! Great job, Meir!

Powerful, indeed
