Q: Choosing a Pentax prime lens
A: Do you know?

In 1992, I was asked by the United Church of Canada to produce a photo essay about street youth for display at a major conference it was hosting. I spent 3 weeks working on the project, mainly at night and the early hours of the morning.
While visiting a shelter one night, this young boy suddenly lost control. Staff was there and managed to calm him down...but then what?
In my 'Photojournalism' collection.

I ache for this boy. So many children in the world desperately need our help. The overwhelming numbers all too often leave individuals feeling they can't make a difference, but we can by helping at least one child in need.

A powerful side of reality...not always easy to capture this kind of emotion on camera....I imagine some of these kids on the street hit the drug scene and this young fellow might have been going through withdrawal.
