It was the first time out for me, to go to an Art Fair.
As my friend and I walked towards this central place in southern CA, the most hurting homeless lady laid with a coat half-covering her.
You couldn't see her face, but her blackend legs of not washing just blasted my senses in this place of unbelievable location of wealth and waste.
My emotions were heightened so much that all I was thinking besides ten other things, is "you should have your camera" and then the feeling of invading this woman privacy. That thought bothered me. The camera is the only way to let the world or anyone to see. I could send it too all the Newpapers, and anyone in a position to feel guilty for not doing something for the homeless.
How many of us walked by her.
Even if I did take pictures, none would be seen by the locals. Its almost like living in a fishbowl.
She is just one of many in this area, where its nice and warm most nights and days.
Just recently reading in the local news how one man helped raise $100k. To help build a facility in Indio. Then to read that a new surgical center is to be built, and 26 Million has been donated. In Rancho Mirage where the land is already bought.
What the FUCK!!!!
My words have to stop now.
THis is Palm Springs. La Land Land to the 29th degree.
