Never before have I taken an image that to me means so much, one that touches me in a way that no other image has.
Today I set out to use a lens that I never use, and in a way I never shoot - street photography, simply to push my boundries, to do something outside my comfort zone, to learn and challenge myself. It was a cold, bleak rainy day, quiet by city standards on the streets of Bristol. when I came across this scene, I asked permission to take a photograph, and was granted permission following a brief explaination. I offered a warm drink and warm food which were refused and went on my way. I have not been able to stop thinking about this person all day.

Can you make a great shot of despair? It drips from the image like the streaks - are they blood or tears - on the door she sits against and the street is wet. There is only one niggle to despair you: would have liked to see her a little bit out of the center by cropping a little from the pavement.
