It always blows me away at some of the amazing things you can find out there. I love going to garage sales or flea markets. You just never know what you might find.

Sadness. It looks like a little girls once favoured doll, now uncaringly thrown out with all the rubbish.

You have a knack of capturing so much emotion, it breathtaking.
