Artist's Comments

In Lebanon, you don't see the typical type of beggars or homeless people. This kid is about 10-11 years old (assuming) and he's being exploited by his "parents". Here, we have a whole new meaning for exploitation. If this lad doesn't come home with the minimum amount of money set by the exploiters, he'll probably get beaten to death and sleep in deep hunger and pain.

As you can see, no one really cares how this kid ends up. I could probably steal him, rape him and throw him on a sidewalk and no one would notice.

Shot taken spontaneously from a higher POV. Thanks for viewing and I hope the message went through.

I stand by my comments I made regards DrugArt in my current Journal Note - this posting is exactly WHY I said those things...The sad reality is the "weakness = exploited" scenario captured & described isn't confined to Lebanon, (which I've heard is a beautiful country) it's the same in Bangkok, Bogota, Buenos Aries, Mexico City, L.A. just to name a few.

I just read your journal mate, I had no idea my work has this influence, if I may say.
I'm really touched, thank you very much!
