Description It's easy to complain about simple things. Slow internet connection, a smart phone that isn't working properly, a cold latte, the car that somebody's parents didn't buy for them when they turned 16, etc. The list can go on and on. especially in a country of conveniences.

As a street photographer in Chicago, I have come across many different walks of life and it can be extremely humbling. A situation, like the one shown in this photograph, can force reality down our throats.

My sarcastic entry into the "A Day in Paradise" contest. [link]

God...I love that you got some rich lady in furs in the background.

What area is this? It looks kind of familiar...admittedly half the streets look like this....

Thanks, it was a coincidence that this lady was in the shot. This is taken on Chicago Ave.
