The Helpless
My photo symbolizes the story of a wealthy Stock Trader. Everyday, on his way to work, he walks by the same homeless people. The homeless people always hear coins gingling in the Stock Broker's pocket. They persistently beg him for a few coins. He always ignores them.
One day, the market crashes, and it appears that the broker has lost everything he has. He ends up on the street, next to the homeless people he would always ignore. When he turns to them for help, they merely give him the cold shoulder. The first photo, shows the coins, and an old hand, representing the homeless people, and their begging. The Second photo is shows a group of totally dull pencils, which also represents the homeless people. And sticking out like a sore thumb is the stock broker.
