On a bench I met June from Coorparoo; she was hoping to 'scratch up' some money.
"What will you spend your winnings on?"
"Bills and a holiday."
I left before she finished the card.

Nice candid shot. I would have saved the money to put towards the bills, not a "lucky" ticket.
ReplyDeleteI kind of hope she wins enough to buy something in the store behind her. It would have to be a big jackpot.
ReplyDeleteFantastic candid shot, Mark. Well-captured.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great shot. I sure hope she won!
ReplyDeleteChanel in the the background!... your pictures so vivid, yet there is so much important extra detail that makes this wonderful art.
ReplyDeleteI hope she got something. Lovely shot.
ReplyDeleteBills & a holiday - I sure hope her numbers came up - I would have headed straight into Chanel and blown the lot.
ReplyDeleteWhat I am enjoying about this series is that is is familiar territory to me but both of us a visitors to this city so you see things differently from the residents.
ReplyDeletedid you scratch too? I never had luck, only once I won a Friay meat pack. Now now, I don't buy.
ReplyDeleteTerrific shot.
ReplyDeleteSharon and Dianne: No way is she heading to Chanel, look closely, I am sure Chanel want her, I reckon she looks great!
ReplyDeleteKaren & Ann, yeah sctrachies are a complete waste of money but yeah I love them now and again, sometimes blow the bills live it up a bit!
A really great candid shot it is, Mark! I love it -- I would have to avoid Chanel as well!! Hope your week is going well!

No, she is not a Chanel lady. She would not even have noticed the shop was there.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a sobering post, Mark. An air of quiet desperation. Yet with all that policing and all those rules, there is litter under the bench.
Bills and a holiday. I wonder how long since she had a holiday.
