Unnamed

When I last wrote about her in July, she was enroute to visit her extended family in Eastern Europe, leaving her street life in San Francisco behind.  At that time, with her off the street, I knew that intervening in the life of a total stranger was absolutely the right thing to do.  What I didn't know was what would happen when she returned to the US.  Would she return to the street life she left, live with her family or take some other path?  

 

During her trip and since her return to the US in October, her mom and I have kept in contact.  And today, she and her family welcomed me into their home.  I saw her for the first time since July; she looked great and is currently working two jobs and thinking about going back to school.  I also had the pleasure of meeting her family face to face, after many emails and phone calls with her mom over the last 8 months.  The timing was perfect with Thanksgiving this coming week.  For this family, there is a lot to be thankful for, and I am glad to have been a part of it.  This experience is one I won't ever forget.

Week 47 ☞ 11.19.11 - 11.25.11

Theme:  Pictures for a Flickr Group

I joined a new Flickr group to help with ideas to close out the year of Project52 images.  The group, 111 Pictures in 2011, provides a list of subjects/topics for tackling in any order and any interpretation.  Photos this week will be inspired by the list.

Theme:  Pictures of People Taking Pictures

A different twist on my typical easy themes and inspired by a photo taken last evening.  Besides a couple of shots I know that I'll post, will have to actually look for these situations.
