She moves from car to car, just standing quietly with this sign...
Her gaze gave me the willies.

    Thanks Dave, yes she was okay with it. Actually this was the first time I ever got up the courage to ask someone if I could take their portrait.

    The message is bizarre in its incoherence. The moody light adds to the whole effect. . . sort of creepy and sad at the same time.

    Thanks all! What I love about this most is that I put it up here 15 minutes after taking it.

    I'm curious to know what the original message says underneath the new one, but I imagine that it's probably just as frightening and sad. Great shot!!!
