DEK Photography: Beyond Our Comfortable Bubble


All earnings from this post will be sent to @l0k1 - he's a Steemian in a tight spot, who needs our financial assistance. We need to keep him away from the streets, until he finds himself a job. The end goal is a 1000 SD, which will greatly help him in the next couple of months. You can read more about it in my post or his post. Thank you for helping one of our own, even if it's by an upvote or reshare!


I've shot this photo on election day, last year. Politicians were spending millions on advertising campaigns, apparently fighting over that all important and glorious 1000 Euro monthly paycheck. People knew they were corrupt and simply ignored them. They ignored their lies on TV, they ignored their smug faces plastered around town, they ignored them everywhere.

They also ignored this woman.

In fact, they tried particularly hard to ignore this old woman, because it was their ignorance that brought her to the streets. But she refused to be ignored. She was there, every day, talking to herself, sometimes shouting at them, reminding them of what they did by simply doing nothing.

So here she is. Back against that classy jewelry store, wearing all her clothes, holding tight to an umbrella.

Don't dare to ignore her.
