An Unfortunate Symbol

When Dar and I were in the DTES there seemed to be needles everywhere. Drug use is rampant there and it is evidenced by so many needles. We saw them being used, laying on the ground, stashed in little holes, one even stabbed into a telephone pole. I take photographs for the enjoyment of photography. I take them for fun, to try create art, and/or make a message. My hope is when you see my photo's you will get something from them. Sometimes it isn't pleasant or happy but if this photo tells you something, even if it bothers you a bit it worked for me. 

 I used the 50mm taken 1/160th sec f1.7 iso 100
