Jesus forgives a lot, but he doesn't forgive Louis Vuitton knockoffs, LOL.

Interesting photo Sam. There's a lot to the composition: the sign, reflections, contrast, etc.

Are you sure this was an anti-abortion protester? I think she might have actually been a pro-abortion campaigner saying, ‘Yeah go for it girls, get that thing out, Jesus forgives and heals.’ Makes more sense don’t you think?
Or, ooor, She in fact is an anti-abortion campaigner, the guy is a lost tourist from Pinland (famous for its quality safety pins) asking, ‘Excueese me miss, do youh please know the way to Sankhozeh?’
But she can’t hear him as she is deep into her own thoughts, ‘Bugger, took out the wrong sign again.’

Is it just me or does that guy look like Bruce Willis?

I also found the Louis Vuitton bag juxtaposed with the beat-up backpack and what appears to be a can of beer from eastern Europe quite interesting.

I suspect that the bag is a knock-off because I doubt that anyone that could afford the real thing would be wearing Tom Cruise's glasses from Risky Business.

Isn't counterfiting, copyright infringment and trademark theft a sin? Oh, I forgot, jesus forgves.

you know why she was so quiet? Because he has just told her that if you really are INTO this, let's make it & then go on with the abortion procedure after X-mas...she was stuck in between the two worlds!

I think I was there when you took the picture--I remember the protesters and the guy with the can of beer. Later, some street kid kept asking everyone, "Is it a long weekend? Is it a long weekend?" She happened to ask the man with the beer, and he drunkenly started swearing at her.

I also like the Louis Vuitton bag. I mean, when you are trying to intimidate young pregnant women, you need to look tony.

Definitely a Bruce Willis look-alike right down to the bald head.

Did the beer can guy just come from makeup just before this shot, or did he just have bomb go off in his face ? Look at the difference in skin color between his face and back of his neck.

this looks like a news paper commentary shot. I think it belongs in a newspaper. (by the way... did you manage to get the silent womans permission to post her photo??? =-P) I once talked with an abortion protester in the interest if open debate.. the psychotic Im going to kill you stare that the protester continued to glare at me convinced me never to attempt logical conversation with deranged extremists like these ever again. (did she escape from the abandoned psychiatric hospital your always photographing?

I don't get the message... It more looks like a pro-abortion message to me too-if it has anything to do with abortion at all ! Yeah, and I reallly hope that Jesus forgives this Louis Vuitton women for making decisions for other people's lives !

Jesus forgives and heels?.....so will my little puppy when he finishes obedience school. Just to clarify: that is not any old beer, and it is not, in fact, european beer. Rather, it is a can of Crest (perhaps even, dare I say...SUPER Crest). Those unfamiliar with this finest swill, blended from select rubbing alcohol and those pints you just couldn't finish the other night, have probably been part owner of a can or two, depending onhow often one is charitable with the soused and scraggly sidewalk sitters...you can get a can of your own for, like, $2. And its 8% or something crazy.....that'll put the fear of God in ya...no guarantees on the Jesus thing.......

aint it illegal to be drinking beer on the street in Toronto???? public drinking is against the law isnt it? Better watch out sam you might get this poor guy busted. I also think the sign argues more for the pro-abortion side .. But I think the lady just isnt smart enough to realise that. I also think that this guy doesnt look that much like bruce willis besides being a bald white guy there isnt much resemblance to me.

I just noted something of interest psychologically speaking. I like the way this woman tries to hide her face with the sign and cover the rest of her identity behind those over sized "risky business" style 80's glasses.

but wait... Isn't it criminals and people who are doing something wrong who need to be concerned about hidding their identity?? what type of shame or fear does this women have inside her psyche to make her feel it necissary to hide her identity? the oversized sign seems to me to serve like a security blanket shielding her from the world around her...

(Im thinking too much. sorry fokes last post I promise.)

Very interesting photo, and the message is quite strong, though maybe too forceful for others.

Nice shot.

this is very interesting...the sunglasses kind of adds to the ignoring...seeming as though she doesnt even want to see him..great commentary photo! ohh and also if that is indeed a fake louis vuitton, would this fall under "thou shalt not steal?"

she looks lyke a battered repulsive version of killroy.

he looks lyke a disgruntled Willis finally realizing that the die hard set has ran it's distance.
