This photograph was taken by a homeless boy in California. A reader on SomethingAwful gave a small point and shoot camera to the boy, then told him he could keep the camera if the boy returned the photos he snapped.
The photos provide an interesting glimpse into the daily life of a child without a home. Most of the photography won't win any awards, although I thought the black and white shots were surprisingly good for a kid. Link
The kid didn't necessarily live on the streets (often hopped from friend's home to friend's home), so it's likely that he didn't need the money THAT bad. He was probably just appreciative of someone doing something nice for him, and for a fun diversion.

Great stuff! More, please!
It is a brilliant documentary. Don't be afraid of being offended by the prostitution in the movie; it is almost non-existent in the film.
The film is all about these kids - some of them intellectual giants, others just normal - and how they perceive the world around them.
Fantastic.
