Ash Wednesday

It's a nice tradition.
No. Make that a lovely tradition. 
A photogenic tradition. 

Once again, the good people of the Liberties were most obliging, on my short lunch break between two meetings. 
I think that is partly due to the fact that the man with the pleading little eyes is not actually looking for money. I sense a wave of relief washing over them when I ask if I can take their photograph and they willingly lend their support to this little portrait project.
