While walking down Yonge Street near Dundas, this nice woman asked me for some change for a soup. She looked hungry. When I gave her five bucks she was ecstatic. I asked her if I could take her picture and she nodded yes. Before I could take a shot she turned around, looked at her reflection in the window, fixed her hair, and then turned back towards the camera and said “OK. I’m ready. I used to be a model.”

Including their stories is a nice touch too. Well done!
