This is a photo of a pile of food collected by a school for the Good Shepherd Food Bank in Brampton ON.

Unfortunatly, because of recent economic conditions, the food banks shelves are going empty.

Photographically, I am not particularly fond of this photo, or any of the photos I took of the pile. I am entering it just to meet my commitments for my DPC Olympics Team - Team Canada III. I hope the photo does better than my expectations.

An interesting approach, but the shot itself doesnt say poverty... Maybe people at the food bank, picking out food, etc.

Interesting take... Reminds one how many people go hungry, and how much the rest of can waste. Came back to give it a boost...

Honestly, I find this the best shot in the challenge. The least exploitive of the entries yet still conveys the message. While not technically perfect still my favorite of the challenge. An 8 from me.
