Courtesan Confessions

For a while, I had been thinking of a writing piece about prostitutes and how beautifully destructive their roles can be. I had offered to pay several women to dress up in tight skirts and come take pictures in a dark alley with me, but for some reason they all said no...
So, fast forward a year or two later, while working security one night in a sketchy part of downtown Anchorage I saw this ally way. When I saw the ally, all those past thoughts of prostitution came back to me. I risked my safety to take this picture; my heart was beating so fast because I was worried someone was going to pop out and jump me.
