New Leaders In Training

Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Living in Boston as I do, it is not at all unusual to see folks who are having a difficult time getting by. I regularly tell myself that taking pictures of them is kind of unfair. And in a way it is.

Why? Look at this picture. It’s of an almost deserted Beacon Street with one, no doubt, soaked pedestrian crossing it. That shot, in a nutshell, sums up today.

There’s not much to say about this photograph. It’s a hard image. It’s about destruction and pain and a craving that tears at your soul.
