Peek-a-boo

I caught(on camera) this guy peeking through the U.S-Mexico border fence in San Ysidro, CA as he was checking for Border Patrol agents. My attempt was to use a long lense(300mm) in order to condense the bars on the fence. I think it helps focus-in on his face which kind of looked desperate. I often wonder just how bad it must be for these migrants who so desperately travel from all over Mexico and Central America to the U.S. for backbreaking jobs and little support from our government.

Just goes to show how bad they've got it economically. Nice frame. Simple.
