On our way home on halloween a year ago, I started taking snaps of the usual street scenes. Here, a vendor offered glowing devil’s horns to passing cars. Stopping at the red light along Aurora Boulevard before turning right to Araneta Avenue, my heart stopped at the sight of this figure lying just a few feet away from our car window.
In the dark, what looked like a corpse wrapped tightly with a blanket was a homeless person sleeping right outside the bridge. As though this wasn’t enough to break my heart, when I switched my camera mode to view, I zoomed to find the person’s arms holding a baby whose head nestled peacefully on his/her chest
