Looking for Cans in SF Chinatown
Originally uploaded by shaire productions

Being that my grandma lives in Chinatown, I often visit her, and see a bit of the social environment. This old woman was sifting through the trash, looking for cans to recycle, hoping to make a few extra dollars. In Chinatown, the elderly often have limited English abilities, and being too old to work, rely on government assistance and making money in the humblest of ways.

In front of a church in SF. . . such sadness in his eyes.
