Prosperity in America Photo

Photographer’s Note

America to alot of people around the world is a land of opportunity. America has it's down side too. These fine people are living in this same land. Living out thier dreams as all of us try to do. Hopefully one day they will prosper also.

I like this. I just visited Buffalo and saw the poverty there. I posted one picture showing this downside, but wondered if I should add any more. Now I will, thanks to your theme in this true to life photo.

Hi Jimmy
Unfortunately this is all too true for many. At least these people have a satellite dish which must mark sign of accomplishment to the outside world. For many others having a roof over their heads would be a dream. A well exposed shot of this slice of life.

Hi Jimmy,

I've taken a look in your gallery, and your work is really beautiful, how your work is cropped and provided a beautiful frame, is a great job, well done.

Hello Jimmy!

Excellent, quite ironic title, but really depicts one side of the situation in USA, that sometimes remains well hidden. Great example of photojournalism, great composition and framing, great light management!

Ciao dear Jimmy,
Unfortunately these scenes are seen in every Country in the world, but are more impressive when seen in rich Countries, especially those with many immigrants, like the U.S. and Italy. It 'also just post these photos, because photography is not made only of beautiful sunsets and beautiful landscape. Photography is what we see. Compliments!
Ciao, have a nice day!
Paolo
