The crack dealers and the Prostitute shown here were barely out of range of my lens when this woman and her precious young daughter came out of the store. In a different part of this series Sharon made a reference to people leading "lives of quiet desperation". I know she meant it in a slightly different context, but I think that quote is absolutely terrific and sums up so much of what this entire series is about. To think that this woman and her child would have strolled into the middle of a crack deal had they walked out out the door one minute earlier is almost out of the realm of my imagination. I think, as I've said before, that the vast, vast population of the Central City are good, law abiding people...but almost all of them are leading "lives of quiet desperation" because of the much smaller percentage of those that use fear, guns and violence to dominate entire neighborhoods.
