Deadly Sins

Alfred sitting atop his pile of treasures.

For this photo assignment, I chose to take a photo of my son Alfred committing the sin of greed. He hoards all his gems and gold for himself while the citizens of his kingdom starve in the streets. He’s done nothing to work for those gems, all he’s doing is profiting off the labor of his underlings. He uses them to elevate his status and adorns himself with gems to make him look beautiful, while the common man can barely even afford the cloth on his back. Alfred is a tyrant, and very soon the people will break down his door and take back the power and wealth that is rightfully theirs.
