This Uptown woman had just found a job and was oozing pride. She used her first paycheck to buy some new clothes and sunglasses. I found her hanging out on a street corner with some of her friends. She proudly showed me her first dollar. I’m sure the sunglasses must have cost her a pretty penny. They were more of a fashion accessory than protection from harsh sunlight. I can tell from the lighting in the photo that this was a cloudy day.
