Photo I took of a child in Tijuana, his mother was selling little tiny toys with her daughter and this guy was having no part of it.

He was terribly sad and tired. I gave him 5 dollars for letting me photograph him and he immediately ran it to his mother. He finally smiled. (After I got to my computer I realized I should have given him a lot more)

Couldn't get this song out of my head after that.

Show me a prison, show me a jail
Show me a pris'ner whose face has grown pale

And I'll show you a young man
With many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or I

Show me an alley, show me a train
Show me a hobo who sleeps out in the rain

And I'll show you a young man
With many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or I

Show me the whiskey stains on the floor
Show me a drunk as he stumbles out the door

And I'll show you a young man
With many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or I

Show me a country where the bombs had to fall
Show me the ruins of buildings so tall

And I'll show you a young land
With many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or I
You or I
