People should be able to live, not merely survive. Everyone should have the right to happiness and a decent chance in life.

Thanks for your comment.

On the art: excellent as always. You do have a knack for it.

On the subject: my words, they are failing me right now. So I will borrow these -- alas, the author did not sign it or I would properly credit. "Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich."

And it is way past time we did something about fixing that.

Thanks for the comment. Appreciated.

Wow! These are nice! But sad!

Thanks, Kevin.

Powerful set of images!

Thanks, starship64.

It's a scene(s) that's really well done! Saw this already every day, when I was living in Spain.

Thanks for the comment.

Quite a good haul for a dumpster diver in the first one - useable clothes. Usually it's more like the last one, with old food wrappers that sometimes contain rotten items that ruin everything else in the bin. Rarely you'll find boxed-up half-eaten fresh or semi fresh goodies, but not often. You kind of have to wait for the right day and time for those to hit the bin, so timing is important - shortly after lunch or dinner you might find a goodie. Food can also be salvaged by quietly hanging out at restaurants and just waiting for someone to finish, leaving a half-eaten meal. Then grab and go - a heavy Ziploc bag helps - at least until the waiters or other staff try to run you off.

Not that I know much about that sorta thing or anything. Great render series though, kind of captures that sad day-to-day desperation. Upvoted.

Thanks for the comment.

Unfortunately its about to get worse...so sad our world is in such despair. Your images all turned out great as usual! :-)

Thanks for the comment. And I respectfully disagree with you. :-)

A beautiful series of images that unfortunately reflects so well the current situation… very well done !!

Thank you a lot.

This makes me so sad. We honestly should have the resources to make sure everyone can live well but it is never divided fairly

Thanks for your comment.

All are superbly done, and are a powerful and sad statement of our society.

Thanks. Yea, it's sad.
