Description
This is a photograph of "an old lady, whose feet have fallen off, the fingers of whose right hand have nearly all gone [all that is left of the other you can see here], says'God bless you father' everytime I pass her. Sometimes I will walk up and down before her new home praying and counting the blessings."
