Despair V

Lisbon, Portugal
Leica M8 + CV 28 Ultron 2.0

Ultimately, while photographing people after demonstrations in Lisbon, I was shocked by the high and scary level of despondency I was seeing around me. My initial intent was (and still is) to show resisting people, but I have to admit that things are even worst than I thought.
Here is the fifth of a series about this despair.
