    I love the lighting in this photo...it could tell so many different stories! I love the fishnet/fish concept. I think you should write it! "Graffiti on walls and garbage dumpsters" could be a cool title :-)

      Thank you! I don't know why the image struck me, but it did. Maybe I will write more of it somedays- and that is a good thought, it could. 'A picture of American youth' as subtitle or something :) It is a subject that intrigues me... xx
