Description
Drunken men, of Hispanic origin, downtown, San Salvador. The two men on the left are shirtless and drunk. They are shaking hands with a man of Hispanic origin on the right, who is not drunk, has a short beard, and who is a volunteer social worker for the neighborhood. He is also an ex-gang member from Los Angeles, who was deported back to San Salvador. In the background, behind a wrought iron grate, sits a woman who is a prostitute, smiling at the interaction of the men. On the wall behind the men is a sigh for vodka. 2pm weekday.
