Depressing picture

This is one of the most depressing pictures I've ever taken. (I realize most of you are scratching your heads.) The intensity of the sun in spring-summer-fall is unbearable. When I was walking around the parents' farm back home I thought, "Can this possibly be the same sun that would let you fry an egg on the sidewalk back in the Emirates?"

This guy stands in the sun - with no possibility of shade - day after day. He works seven days a week selling newspapers. No chair, no shade... only a blistering sun. At absolute best the guy makes $10/day. Most likely less than that.

When he left his home country for the dream of riches (or at least a sustainable life) I am sure he didn't picture this job.
