Blind Woman, 1916

This is a photo of his that I personally like. It is a photo of a street beggar who was blind. Initially what I found the photo humorous and satirical (she had a sign labeling her as blind). But then I realized that it was a photo of a beggar and that it was not taken with a humorous nature. Either way, I think this photo is interesting as it makes the viewer think about the time and the situation it was taken in.
