@Dtavz You finally got into it? Which one did your parents support? ~ A 10 months ago

This is a really amazing piece of work and a great photo… did you take it? It totally fits with this idea that we’re looking at. What is change? As this piece of work tells us, it takes a lot more than quarters to change anything real. And it’s funny that we call “change” loose coins in our pockets; why would we call that the same thing as something much bigger and more powerful?
I think this conversation also gets us thinking about “need.” What is need? Who defines who is in “need” and who is not? We live in a world where image is everything, so it’s totally possible for someone to spend whatever small amount of money they might have on a cell phone and on brand name shoes, while sleeping in a shelter every night and struggling to find food, never mind trying to find more permanent housing or employment (which you need an address and ID to get; if you don’t have those, you’re kinda screwed). Just as we try to break apart stereotypes through thinking and writing for Be Scene, we are trying to challenge that idea of ‘types’: if someone on the street can be a ‘type,’ what ‘type’ are you?
Whether or not you choose to give money to someone who is panhandling is totally up to you, but think about all the different things someone who is asking for money on the street might be facing. Some of those things are the same things you face; some of those things are different.
LOL!
Yeah, I’ve seen those ‘types’ in downtown.
It gets hard to sympathize with them when you have hint of suspicion they’re not really in all that much of need:P
