just a couple of my thoughts and pictures…but I mainly started this so I can show off my bummy and me pics. My plan is to go around the world and take pics of homeless people everywhere. I do give them a dollar to allow me to capture their image, but it isn’t charity - its more of me exploiting them (at least I’m honest)!
